NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Volunteers are needed for this morning's 21st annual Halifax/Indian River Cleanup, from 8 to 11:30.
Those who help pick up trash and other debris aling the river banks will receive a free t-shirt and reusable shopping bags.
There are several clearly marked sites for people to check in at. Volunteers should wear comfortable clothes, including, closed-toe shoes or sneakerd. They should also bring sunscreen, bottled water and work gloves. Rakes and shovels are not necessary, but are welcomed.
The annual event is organized by Volusia County with last year's May 3 clean-up generating the removal of 17.9 tons of garbage along 56 miles of riverbanks.
