Lower Salt River Cleanup with SWCA
We teamed up our friends at SWCA to bring a group of volunteers out to the Lower Salt River for a trash cleanup in celebration of Earth Day.
We removed 108.15 pounds of trash from the Lower Salt River at Blue Point & Pebble Beach Recreation Areas!
We removed mostly micro-trash, a bunch of Capri Sun straws & the straw wrappers, fishing line, masks, cigarette butts, kids toys, clothing, shoes & flip flops, zip ties, glass & plastic bottles, aluminum cans, broken glass, grocery bags, sunglasses, cardboard, wrappers, and much more. A lot of the trash we removed was already in the river! The strangest thing found was two different shrines, one in the water and one along the riverbank.
