What:
Join Shoal Creek Conservancy, Austin Resource Recovery, and Austin’s Watershed Protection Department on July 26th from 8-10 am for the 3rd Annual Shoal Creek Shopping Cart Corral!
This event is inspired by the Austin Watershed Protection Department’s Trash in Creeks field study that found over 500 shopping carts throughout Austin’s creeks in early 2022. If you have participated in SCC’s volunteer cleanups, you have likely spotted hard-to-reach shopping carts or have pulled one or two out of Shoal Creek. The corral is our chance to round up the rest. During last year’s Shopping Cart Corral, over 80 volunteers, WPD, and ARR staff spread out over 8 locations along Shoal Creek and in just two hours collectively removed 47 shopping carts, 116 bags of litter, and lots of large bulky items like 6 tires, a car engine, a lawn mower, a wheelbarrow and more!
Stay tuned for the 2025 Corral cleanup locations along Shoal Creek. Register to join us anytime after July 1st!
