September 21, 2025 | 31st Annual Lake Travis Cleanup

What a Day on the Lake

On September 21, 2025, volunteers gathered across Travis County to join Texas’ largest underwater and shoreline cleanup. Look at the impact!

545

volunteers (from 34 zip codes)

21

cleanup sites (across 5 zip codes)

5,636

lbs of total trash collected

1,190

total volunteer hours

Our drinking water starts here, and keeping it clean takes all of us. Thank you to everyone who came out, and to our sponsors and in-kind donors who make this work possible.

“When people see the amount of trash pulled out of the lake and realize that’s where our drinking water comes from, something clicks.”
– Brigid Shea, Travis County Commissioner, Precinct 2
