The annual Kentucky River Clean Sweep is this weekend, and organizers are asking for volunteers to help with the effort.
The event takes place on Saturday, and it's Lexington's first River Sweep since 2019.
Participants will go out on boats to collect trash from the 12 miles of river connected to Fayette County, organizers said.
Volunteers meet at a site near the Madison County border at 8:30 a.m. Participants will return to shore around noon for a free lunch and will also be given a T-shirt.
