AGOURA HILLS, CA — They say many hands make light work — and that couldn’t be more true when it comes to the major impact of the city’s annual creek clean up.
“This is the 9th year we have been organizing this event and it has helped removed over 50,000 lbs. of trash from our creeks and waterways,” city Councilmember Jeremy Wolf told Patch.
Some of the sites cleared by volunteers are locations that had been used for illegal dumping, which helps explain the enormous volume of trash collected over the years, Wolf said.
