Don’t Let Litter Trash Your River

Give the River a helping hand by picking up trash and disposing of it properly.

Help us achieve trash-free waters in the San Antonio River Basin. Take a part in helping keep area creeks and rivers clean by not littering and by picking up trash when they see it on the ground.

TAKE THE PLEDGE

In 2020, the River Authority launched the San Antonio River Basin Report Card to measure the health of the basin. The grade for public trash collection is currently an F. Although many factors determine a healthy river, trash collection is a big issue that we as a community can work to improve.
