This year, we collected 4.1 tons of trash, all of which was transported to area landfills by our generous dumpster suppliers. This amount is less than we have collected in previous years but is consistent with the longer-term trend of lower year over year collections in our cleanup event.  This, we believe, is encouraging news!
