🛶 TRASH PADDLE ITHACA — Saturday, July 12, 2025
(Rain date: July 26)
Join Zero Waste Ithaca for a community-powered cleanup on Cayuga Lake by kayak. We’ll collect litter from the shoreline, sort and audit what we find, and maybe even wrap it up with some spontaneous riverside karaoke. All are welcome—no experience necessary.
Bring your own kayak, or claim one of a limited number of free seats in rental kayaks (thanks to Paddle-N-More!). Rental kayaks will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please register early to reserve your spot:
https://forms.gle/ZNPvKs6uaGXuEn3y6 Once we reach capacity, additional signups will be added to a waitlist.
***Everyone must register, whether you're bringing your own kayak or requesting a rental.***
You’re welcome to join for a land-based cleanup, or just come for the trash audit and (hopefully!) some karaoke. We’re aiming to get the music going.
Bring your energy, curiosity, and a sense of humor. Let’s show what collective action on water can look like.
Big thanks to GAIA (no-burn.org) for microgrant support, Paddle-N-More for kayak rentals and logistics, Ithaca College for the use of their boathouse for launch, TCRMM for tipping fee waiver, and the Cayuga Watershed Network, Discover Cayuga Lake, Ithaca Dragon Boat and Cayuga Outrigger Club, and others for collaboration.
