With the weather cooling down at night we have more campers at the lake and the water is still in the high 70's so it draws more people into the lake, and with more people comes more trash.
The most unusual items found were some truck flooring and a ceramic pot.
Aluminum cans
Styrofoam
Plastic Bags
Comments and Feedback
I would like to thank everyone who came out to support our clean up event and local lake! I would also like to thank Maricopa County officials for coming out and helping us. It takes a lot of work to clean up the amount of trash that people leave behind so its up to us to clean it up and work on preventing trash debris. We couldnt have pulled up all that trash without the combined effort of everyone! Thank you !
The lake was still about 50 feet lower than it usually is.
