Eagle River Coalition is excited to share that its 25th Annual Community Highway Pride Cleanup is scheduled for Saturday May 3, 2025.
Every year, hundreds of dedicated volunteers participate in the county-wide Community Pride Highway Cleanup.
From its inception in the early 2000’s, in which nearly 50 tons of trash had accumulated and was removed, great strides have been made to reduce littering, and now an average of 10-15 tons of debris is removed annually.
A big thank you to all who have participated, and thank you for your interest in ensuring this event remains a cornerstone community event each spring. It’s because of the hundreds of volunteers and many sponsors that this event is able to make such a difference year after year. You can read about the success of the 2024 cleanup here.
Our board and staff are always looking for event sponsors for the cleanup and our mission-driven programs and events and we welcome inquiries about opportunities for sponsorships and volunteer groups. By supporting the cleanup as a sponsor, you help keep local landscapes and the wildlife and communities that depend upon them clean, safe, and healthy. You can find out more about our sponsorship opportunities here. Please reach out to Melanie Smith, Development Director, or email or development@eagleriverco.org with questions.
