(BINGHAMTON, NY) – The Broome County Environmental Management Council (EMC) in
cooperation with the Broome-Tioga Stormwater Coalition once again invites community groups,
organizations and individuals to participate in the annual Broome County Riverbank Cleanup.
The Broome County Riverbank Cleanup is an opportunity to help keep our waterways
beautiful. Over the years, volunteers have helped collect several tons of trash and debris from
County waterways.
The 40th Annual Riverbank Cleanup will be held on Saturday, October 17, 2026, from
8 a.m. – 12 p.m. Participants must preregister by October 12th. The EMC will provide your
group with light supplies available, arrange to have your trash picked up, and help you to
select a location. This year, the EMC is thrilled to collaborate with Tioga County to include four additional sites in Owego for cleanup.
You can register online at the Environmental Management Council website at https://broomecountyny.gov/emc/riverbankcleanup. Please follow the necessary steps to register you and/or your group. Please send any questions to emcbroomecounty@gmail.com or call (607) 778-8924.
