Weiss Lake Improvement has sponsored Renew Our Rivers Cleanup’s in Cherokee County since 2000. That year we had 20 volunteers and removed 3,000 pounds of trash. Each year the Renew Our Rivers project has grown and in 2011 we had 1,888 volunteers and removed 30,030 pounds of bottles, cans, paper, tires, appliances and other trash that has been discarded without regard to litter laws, or the beauty of our area. Weiss Lake Improvement Association has involved students and teachers in the cleanup event, making it a learning experience for the youth in the community joined by citizens that take pride in their community and participate in the cleanup
