2011 EVENT CANCELLED

Due to the recent flooding events, the Environmental Management Council’s Riverbank Clean-Up will be CANCELLED for this year. The safety of our volunteers is of the utmost importance to us, and the scheduled date for the event does not afford enough time to identify and prepare for potential new safety hazards along the riverbank.

The Riverbank Clean-Up will definitely be back on next year, so please be on the look-out for a notice. Keep your eyes peeled for new areas that might need to be addressed in the future due to flood debris or illegal dumping.

The date of next year’s clean-up should be posted early in the year on our EMC calendar. You can fill out your contact information through the "Register Here" button to be added to the email list to be notified about future Clean-Ups.

While we are unable to provide you with a volunteer opportunity this year, there are several other organizations that are looking for volunteers to assist in flood recovery. You can visit the following websites to find out about local flood recovery volunteer opportunities:

• The United Way of Broome County, in partnership with the Institute for Human Services in Bath, has made an online portal available to help people interested in volunteering to connect with relief and recovery projects. Visit www.211helpline.org and click on the “Give Help” button.  People without access to the Internet can call United Way’s 211/First Call for Help at 1-800-901-2180.
   
• BU’s Center for Civic Engagement has set up a website highlighting available volunteer opportunities, both on and off campus as well as a list of local agencies who are looking for donations, at www.binghamton.edu/cce/flood-recovery.
   
• You can also visit www.gobroomecounty.com/floodresources periodically to find out information about recovery efforts as it becomes available.

Trash and debris carelessly discarded or dumped throughout the County often ends up along our waterways, impacting their scenic beauty and water quality. The Broome County Riverbank Clean-Up is your opportunity to help keep our waterways beautiful so that they can continue to be used for our recreational and scenic enjoyment. Over the years, hundreds of volunteers have helped  collect several tons of trash and debris from County waterways.
