Each Year hundreds of volunteers from around Table Rock Lake and  visitors to the region converge on the shoreline for the annual trash pick-up on the weekend of the first Saturday in April.

This past year (2009) the Table Rock Lake Marina Association was proud to sponsor the cleanup! On the last Saturday in September and smaller clean-up event is also held where only trash-bag sized debris is picked up. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on Table Rock Lake supplies trash bags, dumpsters, tire and appliance removal and personnel.

Volunteers organize teams including girl and boy scouts, Missouri and Arkansas stream teams, homeowner’s associations, civic organizations, College of the Ozarks students, retired individuals, business employees, marinas, resorts, families, and other environmentally concerned citizens. Each volunteer receives a shoreline cleanup t-shirt and a camping voucher for Table Rock Lake U.S. Army Corps campgrounds.
