Today, WPC team members showed up across Cleveland to lend a hand at three community cleanups: the Collinwood vs. Euclid Big Clean, Doan Brook’s Forest Hills Park Cleanup, and the Keep Lakewood Beautiful Cleanup.

As Cleveland’s stormwater manager, we know clean neighborhoods help support cleaner waterways. Every piece of litter removed is one less item that can wash into a storm drain and impact our local waterways.

Proud of our crew and thankful for the community volunteers who showed up to make a difference with us.
