A huge thank you to our 130 volunteers who picked up 1,060 pounds of trash and 80 pounds of recyclables along one and a half miles of Rose Creek. From De Anza Point at the south end of the creek to where the creek crosses under Interstate 5, volunteers picked up cigarette butts by the thousands, plastic straws, food wrappers, lighters, tires, credit cards, shopping carts, hundreds of unused syringes and a lizard in a Naranja bottle.

The lizard has moved on to its new home at I Love A Clean San Diego where it will be showcased at various meetings proving to one and all why we spent our Saturday picking up trash.
At the end of the cleanup, volunteers were treated to Haagan Daz ice cream bars courtesy of Campland on the Bay.
