Help us clean up the Ohio River!
Louisville MSD proudly sponsors Ohio River Sweep with the Ohio River Valley Sanitation Commission (ORSANCO), LG&E and Louisville Water. Ohio River Sweep is one of the largest annual environmental cleanups in the United States.
On June 16, at 9:00 a.m. thousands of volunteers will remove tons of trash and debris. This cleanup encompasses the entire length of the river, from its origin in Pittsburgh, PA to its end in Cairo, IL, including nearly 3,000 miles of shoreline and many tributaries.
A MSD employee will coordinate each site, supplying volunteers with gloves, trash bags, and t-shirt. Please plan to attend one of the D9 cleanups.

Planner & participant David Wicks reports: “133 miles from Cincinnati to Louisville along the Ohio River. 9 adventuresome folks from Cincinnati and Louisville area paddled this distance in 32 hours,

straight through all night long. 9 of us in a 30-foot canoe. The folks from Cincinnati organize the Ohio River Paddlefest while the Louisville people help with the Mayor’s Hike Bike and Paddle. The goal was to have an adventure while at the same time develop relationships that could help promote recreation on our river.”
Thanks for helping increase awareness about our shared resource – the Ohio.
