WELCOME TO THE LARGEST WATER CLEANUP IN NASHVILLE HISTORY! If you've participated in one of our previous projects, thank you!! Our last event was a tremendous success despite the weather. Almost 200 volunteers responded to our latest call, contributing nearly 1,000 more work hours, recovering 40 more cubic yards of trash and contributing additional labor services valued at an estimated $33,000 to our nation's waterways. Thanks to the generosity and persistence of NCWP volunteers, we've gifted almost $125,000 in labor and organizational services in less than one year.  Together we are putting a permanent dent in the blight.

Please join us in keeping the campaign against trash at Percy Priest a public conversation -- keep steering your friends, neighbors and employers all here.

You can make another huge difference at our next cleanup event (and snag a fun, free boat ride) by participating in the fourth Nashville Clean Water Project at Percy Priest Lake (coming Fall 2009). We'll have trash bags, gloves and sunscreen for you... we'll have snacks, hand sanitizer, T-shirts and hats...we'll also have gobs of giveaways.

It’s the largest water cleanup in Nashville's history so of course it's always huge!  Boats depart on a regular schedule throughout the day so whether you can help just a little or a whole lot, we make it easy for you to pitch in. If you'd like to get involved, just click the yellow "Register" button on any page and let us know who you are.

(All volunteers must be 16 years old and up.) 

Our first cleanup in May 2008 was huge; the largest Nashville has ever seen! Together we've gifted more than 1,800 collective work-hours to the environment and filled six (6) of Waste Management's commercial roll-off dumpsters with trash. Bottles, cans, plastics, coolers, tires, Styrofoam, chairs, BBQ grills, a full-sized traffic light, an office copier, a residential air conditioner, even a mannequin arm -- all collected from Percy Priest Lake. Seriously, who takes a mannequin to the lake?  All told, we've collected more trash than an average shopping mall produces in a month, and that's just 40% of the estimated surface trash at Percy Priest Lake. So please join us as we continue this very necessary public campaign against litter on Percy Priest Lake.
