The Tioga County Water Quality Coordinating Committee will be holding their 19th annual stream cleanup event May 11-18th. To get involved just register with the County Soil and Water Conservation District. If you decide to volunteer you can select any stream within the County to cleanup and will receive free trash bags, gloves, and gift for all participants to commemorate the event.
The Soil & Water Conservation District and the town highway departments also partner in this event to coordinate pickup, disposal and then transport the collected trash to Taylor’s
Garbage Service in Owego. If you are interested in registering a group for this year’s stream cleanup program or sponsoring the event please contact Miranda Palmer at the Soil and Water Conservation District or stop by the office at 183 Corporate Drive in Owego.
