2023 Cleanup Totals

123 volunteers collected 3,430 pounds of trash along Great Salt Lake’s southern shores. Higher up in the watershed, 21 volunteers removed 279 pounds of trash from Bountiful Pond.

In total, 144 volunteers participated in this day of stewardship and removed 3,709 pounds of trash and debris from local wildlife habitat.

This incredible impact is made possible by the collaboration of our partners and the service of many caring community members. We’re so grateful to those who continue to show up for Great Salt Lake.
