This is our spoils from the south east side. Still more to do at this location but our booms will prevent much more from coming in as we keep cleaning.
The crew here: Jennifer, Eric, Brad and Opa. Thanks for sharing your Saturday morning! Thanks to Tina, Julie Ann, Chris, Molly, Lilly, Sean, Crystal, Let’s Grow Akron, Keep Akron Beautiful and all the others who were out here today.
Canal Boom in place! 120 feet of trash catching magic deployed just south of Summit Lake that will help keep the lake cleaner. Thanks to Dave Stoler, Eric Fitch (thanks Pam for lending us your muscle) and Jerry Harris from Summit Metro Parks! (They help remove the trash we collect from some of our locations)….
This one is at the bottom of Trail Ave. Managed 4 bags at about 85 pounds. Thanks Ohio Erie Canalway Coalition and Summit Metro Parks for picking up our trash! Best part of the day, meeting and talking with people out enjoying the trail!
