The May 2010 flood caused enormous damage and left tons (literally) of debris in and near the Harpeth River. In 2010 HRWA identified collections of debris and rallied volunteers to donate more than 2,000 hours picking up nearly 80 tons of debris. In Cheatham County alone nearly 30 tons of debris was removed. While the easiest to get to debris was removed in 2010, at least that much is still out there (nearly 80 more tons). For 2011, we expect to get at least 40 more tons of construction debris (parts of houses, barns, sheds, household items, lawn mowers, bicycles, etc.). The cleanup season on the Harpeth River kicks off on February 26th with a cleanup on Flat Creek, River Plantation Section II in Belleview, but will continue at least until the end of May.

Funds collected during this campaign will support more flood cleanups and help us launch a concerted effort to get all the tires, appliances, car hulks and other trash out of the river, as well as allow us to organize large annual Harpeth River cleanups all along the 125 mile long river and its tributaries.
