*IMPORTANT! To ensure the safety of volunteers, Sweep Site Leaders, professional staff, and our communities, we ask that volunteers adhere to the following guidelines:

1) Volunteers are required to pre-register for Sweep at both Sanitation Foundation Hub and Riverkeeper (for waiver and insurance reasons). The Riverkeeper registration is here: https://engage.riverkeeper.org/component/events/event/65

2) Volunteers should not participate if they have ANY signs of illness.
