On August 9th volunteers filled 35 canoes with trash to help assist a watershed cleanup organized by Keep Loudoun Beautiful (KLB).
The volunteers collected over "90 tires, 45 bags of recyclables, and 20 bags of trash", more waste would've been collected but space was limited by the size and number of canoes. KLB conducts several cleanups each year, including one in Goose Creek and its tributaries.
The volume of trash along the Potomac does not really fluctuate, however, large amounts of trash can be moved downstream or into the sensitive Chesapeake Bay by heavy rain storms.
