cubic yards of trash from the watershed. They have pulled out television sets;
microwave ovens; lawn chairs; refrigerators; 55-gallon drums; more than 18,000
tires and recycled more than 142,000 pounds of recyclable metal (that's
more than 70 tons!). Countless bags have been filled with recyclable metal, glass,
plastic and aluminum.
