The Missouri River Relief cleanup drew more than 150 volunteers, even with the threat of severe rain. Volunteers picked up a 10-mile stretch of the riverfront in Kansas City, finding everything from tires and lawn chairs to headlights and fenders.
Spring has brought warmer weather, a chance to spend time outdoors, and a pileup of litter and trash on highways and waterways. Ahead of Earth Day, residents in the Kansas City metro can join these community cleanups to tackle the problem.
