Contact WATERGOAT
If you are interested in cleaning up your community waterways, lakes and rivers, fill in the request form below and a WATERGOAT member will contact you.
Use this form to share where floating trash is collecting, what type of waterway you are working with and whether you are representing a city, school, business, neighborhood, civic group or private property. Helpful details include the location, approximate width, access points, photos and any maintenance or volunteer resources already available.
WATERGOAT can help you think through the right barrier option, installation timing, cleanout planning and long-term community participation. The more clearly you describe the site and the cleanup goal, the easier it is to recommend a practical next step for protecting your stream, canal, pond, lake or other local waterway.
For municipal and public works teams, it is useful to include any stormwater concerns, ownership details and expected flow changes during rain events. For community groups and sponsors, share how often volunteers can inspect the site and whether you plan to collect debris data for education or reporting. These details help WATERGOAT respond with guidance that fits the people, site and maintenance plan behind the project.
You do not need a finished design before reaching out. A good request can begin with a problem location, a few photos and a commitment to keeping captured trash from moving farther downstream. WATERGOAT will review the information and follow up about possible products, services and next steps.
If the project is still early, describe the waterway problem in plain terms. WATERGOAT can help turn that first description into a more specific conversation about barrier length, access, cleanup frequency, safety and community support.
