About 100 volunteers came out on Saturday morning to help with the trash cleanup along Neabsco Creek, near Neabsco Eagles Park and Metz Wetlands. Over 230 bags of trash were gathered, mostly plastic bottles that had been carried into the flood plain by storm water during heavy rains. Other items collected during the cleanup were: 22 tires, four fire extinguishers, plastic buckets, and a plastic barrel.

- the volunteers who came out with friends, family members or just by themselves to help with the cleanup.
