Rivers Alive

At Keep Smyrna Beautiful, we work to protect the vital resource of our local waterways. Rivers Alive, our largest water initiative, is an annual litter cleanup along the tributaries that run into the Chattahoochee River, which supplies drinking water for millions in the metro Atlanta area.

Volunteers work together to clean and preserve this natural resource by stopping litter from polluting, harming wildlife, and traveling to our oceans.
