SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - Last year’s Big Sioux River cleanup netted two tons of garbage and recyclables, but the effort this weekend is to double that.
Environmental Analyst Matt Gedney says volunteers will clean the entire river greenway in Sioux Falls. Gedney says if the bike path touches it, volunteers will clean it because the bike path mirrors the River for the most part.
He says crews will also pickup along Skunk Creek in Sioux Falls. Community volunteers can choose any of 14 locations Saturday. Gloves and garbage bags will be provided.
The cleanup is Saturday morning from eight to eleven.
