What is Riverpalooza?
Riverpalooza is New Jersey Community Waterwatch's first annual statewide summer river cleanup. We will be organizing clean up sites throughout the state along the Raritan, Passaic, and Deleware rivers, in hopes of raising awareness of the sorry state of these and other New Jersey's waters, and encouraging those in the community that by volunteering a few hours of their time, they can make a difference! Come out and join us for FUN! FOOD! LIVE MUSIC! and most importantly the cleaning up of New Jersey's waterways!
