Americana Drive Cleanups
|
Presidents Day Cleanup - February 17, 2025
We were joined by groups from Team Rubicon, Northern Virginia Ethical Society, the Prince of Peace Church Youth Group, and members of a kindred watershed group from across the Potomac, the Muddy Branch Alliance. Operation Stream Shield, a Fairfax County work program for shelter residents, makes our task easier by making regular visits to clean along Americana Drive. Unfortunately, the dumpers and litterbugs are at work 24/7. In three hours of work, the volunteers removed 125 bags, 7 tires, 2 heavy machine tires, 5 5-gallon motor oil containers, 20 5-quart motor oil containers, 1 bottle jack, 1 TV, 2 5-gallon paint containers, 2 1-gallon paint containers, 2 mattresses, 1 sofa, 1 toilet, 1 baby stroller, 1 wheeled carry-on,, 2 5-gallon drywall compound containers, 1 shopping cart, 1 snow sled, 1 auto bumper, 1 1-gallon coolant container, 1 5-gallon cooking oil container, 1 1-gallon lacquer thinner container. and a guesstimated total of 1.5 tons of miscellaneous debris.
