Volunteer for River Cleanup events throughout Colorado!

If you’re looking to volunteer, get outdoors, and help clean up the waterways in this wonderful state of Colorado, you’ve come to the right place. Please check this page regularly for updated information on river cleanup events throughout the entire state of Colorado. Even if it is not a sponsored DTU event, we still want to share all the information we can on any and all conservation and river cleanup opportunities. Thank you so much for your help and support.

So far in 2026, we’ve removed over 15,400 lbs of trash from the Denver South Platte
