Darby Creek Valley Association - Annual Darby Creek Cleanup

THANK YOU!!!

This year DCVA held 53 cleanup events and collected approximately 48,000 pounds of debris from in and around our waterways - including 270 tires, construction material, metal, plastics, and innumerable single use plastics, soda bottles, cans, and food wrappers.

DCVA is indebted to community volunteers, leaders, partners and sponsors; by working together throughout our entire watershed a larger impact was made and with continuing partnerships and combined resources we proved that we can make a difference!
