Description
More than 40 volunteers geared up with gloves, buckets and trash bags to clean-up neighborhoods in San Ysidro from litter and debris on Saturday.
“There's no end to the trash in San Diego,” Volunteer Jim Olson said.
CBS 8 reported earlier this month that a field near wastewater treatment facility along the U.S-Mexico border was inundated with raw sewage and tons of trash during the January 22 floods. Six weeks later, debris still littered the area.
384 pounds of litter and debris diverted from the Tijuana river Watershed with the help of local environmental organizations and volunteers who came together to make a difference.
The amount of litter and debris in this community is a major concern for dozens of people who showed up. The main goal is to divert litter from making its way to the Pacific Ocean.
