The Rivers Gives Team Reunites With Longtime Partner Allegheny Cleanways for Annual River Cleanup
Volunteers from Rivers Casino Pittsburgh support riverbank beautification efforts along Ohio River

Rivers Casino Pittsburgh’s Rivers Gives volunteers are rolling up their sleeves for a day of environmental service today, teaming up with longtime community partner Allegheny CleanWays for an annual river cleanup.

From 9 a.m. to noon, volunteers will help remove debris, litter and recyclable materials from the Ohio River shoreline located behind the casino.

For more than 20 years, ACW has led award-winning cleanup and remediation programs throughout the region. ACW’s initiatives have removed millions of pounds of waste from local dumpsites and waterways — including more than 7.3 million pounds of debris, 190,000 pounds of metal and recyclables and 50,000 tires.

Their volunteer-powered programs include The Tireless Project, focused on water-based cleanups along Pittsburgh’s riverbanks; DumpBusters, which targets illegal dumping on land; and ongoing outreach initiatives to engage residents, schools and community partners in making Pittsburgh cleaner and greener.

“Rivers Casino is a dedicated partner in our environmental mission,” said Michelle Lawler, development director at ACW. “Their continued support and team participation have a direct impact on the health and beauty of our shared public spaces.”

“ACW makes it easy to be proud Pittsburghers,” said Dr. Rahmon Hart, director of community relations at Rivers Casino Pittsburgh. “Their tireless work uplifts our entire city, and we’re grateful to support their efforts in maintaining and restoring our rivers.”

Rivers Gives is the casino’s long-running community outreach program in which Team Members report to work at a local nonprofit instead of on the gaming floor.

Last month, Rivers Gives volunteers supported Manchester Bidwell Corp. by assisting with setup for the nonprofit’s annual Block Party — a family-friendly event featuring food, music and arts engagement on Pittsburgh’s North Side.
