Hundreds of dive, shoreline, and park volunteers will remove and recycle trash and debris from the waters and shoreline of Lake Travis during the 30th Annual Lake Travis Cleanup.
The Lake Travis Cleanup is the largest scuba diving, shoreline, and waterway litter pickup in Texas. For 30 years, the community has come together to help protect and preserve Central Texas’ waterways and raise awareness about the importance of our local water resources. The Lake Travis Cleanup began in 1994 as an informal gathering of local dive shops and has grown dramatically each year.
The event is now managed by a partnership between the Colorado River Alliance and Travis County Parks and is made possible through the participation of local marinas, boat rental operations, and dive groups.
Community members can register to volunteer at their favorite Travis County Park or in their neighborhoods at https://laketraviscleanup.org/.
Dive volunteers can register by directly contacting participating local dive shops and groups (see contact list at www.laketraviscleanup.org).
All volunteers receive an event t-shirt and a Digital Program which includes coupons and discounts for local businesses. Also, all volunteers are encouraged to enter annual photo contests and win prizes for being the dirtiest volunteer or finding the most unusual item.
