Illegal Dump/Litter Cleanup, sponsored by Allegheny CleanWays - This cleanup is being held by McKees Rocks Plaza in McKees Rocks Borough. We've rescheduled this event from May when high waters caused us to cancel. We'll be meeting along the creek in the McKees Rocks Plaza parking lot (near Rite Aid, Big Lots and Aldis) with plans to clean a short section of Chartiers Creek and the Ohio River. Join us if you're able. Canoes and kayaks are not necessary (the Anna Hubbard can get pretty far into Chartiers Creek), but are welcome. We'll have all the supplies and equipment you should need and will have food, beverages, and music afterward. As always, long pants and close-toed shoes or boots are recommended - poison ivy is rampant along much of creek banks. For more information, contact Myrna Newman at 412-874-9711 or
