Thanks to the volunteers who participated in the trash cleanup on Saturday, on a beautiful early-fall morning.
At the Hooes Run section of the reservoir, ten volunteers were able to gather a significant amount of trash from the waterway and shorelines:
- 28 bags of trash, including hundreds of plastic bottles and containers
- 3 tires
- 55 gallon plastic barrel, garbage bin, wood pallet, section of drain pipe, lawn chair
- hot water heater
And thanks to the Lake Ridge Parks & Recreation Association (LRPRA) for hauling away the trash that was gathered during the cleanup.
Twelve volunteers also came to the commuter lot at the corner of Minnieville Rd & Old Bridge Rd to gather trash at two stormwater facilities. Between the two sites, they collected:
- 28 bags of trash
- one tire
- other items: discarded bricks, boards, a pipe, car body part
Estimated total weight was 528 pounds.
At Occoquan Forest HOA, 19 volunteers collected 20 bags of trash, a tire, and miscellaneous items with an estimated weight of 380 lbs.
