Trash Fish CLE

Well over 700 paddlers from all across the country had to experience our river in one of the worst states I’ve ever seen it. Part of me was truly embarrassed to have them racing and padding in a literal river of garbage, but another part of me realized that those are now nearly 800 people who really understand why I have to do what I do and I think we all had a pretty good time regardless!

Super stoked to have had the Today Show visit us down here in Cleveland. Thanks to everyone that helped make this happen. I was so honored to be able to share this experience with some of my best volunteers!!

Man swaps fishing rod for trash bag to clean Cleveland river When Eddie Olschansky would head out on Cleveland's Cuyahoga River, he was reeling in more trash than just fish. He decided to use his kayak as a makeshift garbage truck and has built a big following with his volunteer cleanup program called Trash Fish. NBC’s Joe Fryer shares the story for TODAY.
