The event is being hosted by Electric City Aquarium & Reptile Den inside The Marketplace At Steamtown in downtown Scranton.
Workers at the aquarium are putting out the call to register volunteers.
Newswatch 16's Ryan Leckey highlighted the cleanup activity which takes place Sunday, June 23, from 7 a.m. to noon.
Organizers say the event will take place along Leggetts Creek just off West Parker Street in North Scranton. The goal is to remove trash and debris from the environment to help local flora and fauna.
