They will be assisting with cleaning out the booms going forward. Today was “training” with Chris so he can train his crews. Dave was here too but had to leave before pictures were taken!

46 pounds of trash from this spot today. This is a demonstration of how we do this after a rain event.
36 pounds of bottles, cans, bags, styrofoam to name a few, all from storm sewers.
