Last Sunday was our 9th Arcade Creek Cleanup @ Norwood Avenue. It was a fantastic day with great weather and 23 volunteers seized the opportunity to get out and help us remove roughly 7,500 pounds of trash and encampment debris from this neglected waterway. This is the same stretch where 8 previous cleanups were held, yet we haven't moved. There is so much trash layering the creek and lower floodplain.
We were so pleased that Mayoral Candidate & Assemblymember Kevin McCarty and D2 City Council Candidate Roger Dickinson came out to support us. Kevin and his assistant, Anthony, stayed to help remove debris and haul trash to the top of the levee. Thank you both! 💪💪
Not only did we remove countless plastic cups, wrappers, textiles, and plastic bags from the main channel , we also discovered and removed 11 suitcases, a pack & play, baby stroller, old box spring, Home Depot flatbed cart, two air mattresses, folding table, vinyl window shutters, and so much more!
This video is a little longer than average, but we wanted to show the extreme effort it occasionally takes to do what we do. Roland nicknamed us the Badgers for a reason. We aren’t afraid to really dig in for the health of our waterways.
Thank you so much Forensiclean for removing our piles as we were making them!
Volunteers Make It Happen! 💚
