Our Creeks Collect Trash
Our creeks tend to collect all sorts of trash including plastic bottles, food wrappers, balls of all sorts, landscaping materials, shopping carts and more. It is the landowner's responsibility to take care of their part of the creek but this often does not happen. And, most of the trash that is in a landowner's section of the creek actual drifted in from upstream. Cleaning up sections of the creek is a good public service volunteer project.
