to the Allegheny River & Watershed Clean-up website!
Since 2005,
more than 6,000 volunteers have donated more than 48,500 hours and have removed
about 1,150 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 145,000 pounds of recyclable metal (that’s
more than 71 tons!). Countless bags have been filled with recyclable metal, glass,
plastic and aluminum.
