AmeriCorps Cape Cod and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers say the 24th Annual Cape Cod Canal Clean-Up will take place on Saturday, April 19.
The community is invited to take part in the event that's being held in honor of Earth Day and volunteers are encouraged to register.
Those taking part in the clean-up will gather at the Herring Run Recreation Area to remove litter and debris along the canal.
All supplies, including gloves and trash bags, will be provided.
There will be a complimentary lunch for volunteers along with family-friendly activities after the cleanup.
The trash will be weighed to determine how much litter was diverted from the waterway.
