LHPCW, in partnership with Lake Hartwell Association, has long focused on shoreline clean-ups, hosting bi-annual clean-ups each year since the spring of 2023. There has been a total of three clean-ups organized and hosted by LHPCW, with a total of 53.5 miles of shoreline cleaned and 16,707 pounds of trash (464 bags, 24 dock floats, 25 car tires) pulled from Lake Hartwell since the start of these clean-ups. The lake clean-ups leveraged community volunteers, lake property owners, local businesses, diver groups, county agencies, and SCPRT to remove litter from the lake successfully. A total of 452 volunteers have participated since the start of the clean ups.
