Organized by Tokyo River Friends

TRF will be joining World Cleanup Day again this year. To coincide with
the official UN‑designated International WCD on September 20, we will be
holding an additional cleanup session along the Arakawa River.
We warmly
invite you to take part in this global effort to make our world a little
cleaner, together with people around the world who support WCD.

SCHEDULE
Gather at FUNABORI Station: 14:30
Gather riverside 15:00
Finishing up: 18:00

RIVER CLEAN UP
Gather at Funabori Station (Shinjuku Line) outside the only ticket gate,
and then go to the Arakawa River and pick up trash along the banks for
about 3.5 to 4 hours with a break in the middle

WHAT TO BRING
Wear old clothing that you do not mind getting dirty, and please wear
long pants. Bare legs are not recommended because they can easily get
cut from objects like cut river reeds. Also, a hat is recommended,
especially during the summer months, and please bring lots of liquids to
drink. Bringing gloves is also recommended but we usually have some
extra pairs available to loan out. Then please come with proper footwear
or not sandals and so on.

ADDITIONAL INFO
If you come late, it will be about a 25 min. walk to our location on
the island under the elevated C2 highway between the Kasaibashi Bridge
and the Shinjuku Line train bridge but much closer to the Shinjuku Line
Bridge. Call James’ (the organizer) cell phone (090-1847-5075) if there
are any problems finding us.

RAIN
In the event of light or medium rain this event will NOT be cancelled.
Please bring rain gear and we will take shelter (under a bridge) until
any downpours let up. In the event of heavy rain/strong winds (e.g.,
typhoon conditions) or lightning then the event will be cancelled (and
usually moved to a different day).
 Let’s have fun enjoying our local
nature while making it better at the same time.
