The James River Association is hosting its fourth annual Tire-less James cleanup to remove old tires from the James River
Volunteers will take part in a one-day tire cleanup on Oct. 1, focused on the James River between Howardsville and Scottsville. The James River Association is again proud to partner with the James River Batteau Festival and Boy Scouts of America Heart of Virginia Council for this event. Tire Recyclers is supporting the effort by hauling and recycling all tires collected during the cleanup.
A flotilla of batteaux will be provided by the James River Batteau Festival to help collect and transport tires on the river. Volunteers are needed to assist the crews in loading and unloading their vessels.
Because this is a self-directed water cleanup, volunteers will need boats and equipment appropriate for safely floating tires down river to assist the batteaux. The James River Association is able to offer a limited number of canoes, paddles, and life jackets to individuals who register on a first-come, first-serve basis.
