SUMMARY:Waterway Warriors Group Cleanup Event - Location TBD
DESCRIPTION:Because trash travels with wind\, rain\, and human traffic patterns — and Waterway Warriors go where the need is greatest\, we don’t schedule our cleanup locations more than about two months in advance. This flexibility allows us to respond quickly to areas where trash is building up and make the biggest impact. \nWhat you can count on is the schedule: Waterway Warriors cleanups happen every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month somewhere in Brevard County.
