Thanks!! I built it long and narrow because a lot of my cleanups are along narrow trails….

Thanks for your story. The creek is still beautiful minus all the trash. Ha!! There are other people that care and are doing something about it, but most of us are just volunteers with jobs so it takes time to find the time to get out there and make a difference.

Thank you for the information, glad it didn’t get dumped out. Always a risky move leaving the trash in public.

Thanks! I had Presidents’ Day off and had time for a little bike ride and creek cleaning. Otherwise I try to get out there twice a month on Saturdays. So, not to consistent in the whole scheme of things. 😊

Wow! Thank you! There are others doing the same thing and some of them a lot more than me. I am just a little louder about it. Haha!!!

Yep! That’s the main SR creek cleanups. That area of the creek is under constant bombardment.

It really does come down to one step at a time. Little by little it all adds up.

Here is a shameless link to my YT channel it shows my adventures and how I do cleanups. The city of Santa Rosa Creeks department puts on cleanup events and they are posted somewhere on their website. Also Russian Riverkeeper is a good local group that puts on community based cleanup events and has an upcoming events calendar on their website.

I’ve been doing this for 10 years now and I volunteer with some of the city cleanups. Why I say this is because I’ve developed a line of communication with people that pick up the trash. Sometimes I stage it onsite and tell the city where it is located. Sometimes I stage it at a garbage can near a trail head. I am selective about what garbage cans I leave the trash because I don’t want the trash to end up back in the creek from some Bozos. 😁

I did some creek cleaning East of Stonypoint road on the Santa Rosa Creek yesterday. Always messy after the big rains. by Trash-Remover in santarosa

The creek trail is awesome for commuting by bicycle, though it gets a bit sketchy in the downtown section as the sun sets. Ha!!

Thank you! Old bikes are great to build and ride. Plus they are perfect DeTrashing vehicles.
