September 21 @ 8:00 am - 1:00 pm
Join LLA for Lake Lanier’s largest annual shoreline cleanup! 2024 marks the 36th Annual event!
Volunteers can go to one of 14 locations around the lake on 9/21 to get supplies, sign in and get a t-shirt to remember the day — and most importantly, drop trash and other debris for removal!

Advanced Shore Sweep Sites:
– Advance Sites opened on September 7th and close at sundown on September 20th! These unmanned locations located around the lake allow people to drop off trash for the two weeks prior to Shore Sweep. The advance sites allow you to participate in the cleanup on your schedule. These are accessible by water only to ensure we are only collecting lake trash. You do not have to register to do advance cleanup. Just be sure that you secure all debris high enough where it will not flow back into Lanier.

– Life vests
– Sunscreen
