Last year, they were able to pull out over 6,000 lbs of trash in just 3 hours. With the help of Geocachers, can they pull out more?
The basics are:
Location: Pier 68, Pier 70 Blvd., Philadelphia, PA 19148
Date: Saturday, April 11th, 2015
Time: 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM
The Schedule (times are approximate):
9:30 am - 10:00 Sign-in and meet your fellow cachers.
10:00 am - 12:30 Cachers will go out along the water’s banks, pick up litter, and return full bags to our cleanup tent. The trash will be weighed as it comes back in.
12:30-1:00 The cleanup games begin and prizes are given out. Lunch is served.

Please note, we will be cleaning with other groups but the geocachers will have their own rally point to meet after registering as well as sitting together during lunch. Look for the Geo-logos.
Thank you to United by Blue for their support of this CITO.
Please RSVP early as they do need a headcount for lunch. You should RSVP (will attend log with # of people in your party) by April 6th for lunch. After that, I can't promise lunch but I will promise trash if you show up.
Parking is available at the Wal-Mart/Old Navy parking lot in front of the pier. Volunteers should park in the lot and walk down towards the pier, keeping a lookout for the tent(s).
