Coming Together for a Cleaner River: Source to Sea Cleanup 2025
On September 27, a team of 10 dedicated volunteers from USA Waste & Recycling and All American Waste rolled up their sleeves and made a real difference along the Connecticut River. As part of the annual Source to Sea Cleanup, we joined forces with hundreds of others across the region, contributing our efforts at the Donald W. Barnes Boat Launch and the surrounding watershed area in Enfield, CT.
The result? 680 pounds of trash and debris removed from the environment in just a few hours.
And the day brought more than just sunny weather, it brought a renewed sense of purpose. From hauling out large debris to collecting smaller litter that can harm local wildlife, every bit of work mattered. Events like this remind us that even simple actions, when done together, can have a powerful impact.
The Source to Sea Cleanup, organized by the Connecticut River Conservancy, is more than a cleanup—it’s a call to action for communities to protect and restore the natural resources we all rely on. Our team was proud to represent our company values in the field, not just by removing waste, but by being part of a larger movement toward sustainability.
We’re grateful to every volunteer who brought their energy and commitment. To see more of the Source to Sea Cleanup, check out our social pages or visit https://sourcetoseacleanup.org/ to plan or join a cleanup of your own!
