Second Annual "Lake George CleanUp" Day Is Sunday, September 15th

The Lake George Association (LGA), in partnership with the Warren County Sheriff’s Office, the Village of Lake George, and the Lake George Waterkeeper, will host the second annual “Lake George CleanUp” event on Sunday, September 15, 2024, in Lake George Village.

Residents, businesses, and visitors are encouraged to participate in removing trash from the

shoreline and in the water to protect water quality and aquatic plants and animals.

The Warren County Sheriff’s Dive Team will lead the underwater clean-up efforts. Volunteers

can choose to clean up along the Village shoreline or on their own properties.

“We are grateful to Mayor Perry, Sheriff LaFarr, our sponsors, and this amazing community

for coming together for the second year in a row to help us keep the Lake we rely on for our

economy clean and protected,” said Monika LaPlante, LGA Managing Program Director.

Volunteers are asked to register online in advance at

lakegeorgeassociation.org/cleanuplakegeorge. An FAQ about the event is available on that

web page as well. In-person registration on the day of the event, September 15, will also be

available at the Village Pier in Shepard Park, starting at 8:30 a.m.

The event is free and open to all ages. Trash removal and safety supplies will be provided.

"Lake George CleanUp” day is sponsored in part by Waste Connections, which is once again donating all trash removal services for the event.

Lake George Beach Club is also a returning sponsor of the event, providing “Lake George

CleanUp” shirts to the first 100 registered volunteers as well as a volunteer cookout

immediately following the event.

Those who cannot participate in the Village effort are encouraged to clean up on their

properties and around their docks and to share photos using #LGCleanUpDay on Instagram

and Facebook.
