Arroyo Colorado cleanup removes trash flowing in from across the Valley
· KRGV (NBC 5)
On Saturday, nearly 50 volunteers gathered to clean the Arroyo Colorado, successfully removing over 3,600 pounds of trash in just three hours. The Ramos family, using a boat, discovered an unexpected amount of debris along the shoreline, including plastic, tires, and furniture. Natalie Ramos expressed concern for wildlife, noting that animals might accidentally ingest the trash. Volunteer Lynette Linn filled three bags but emphasized the ongoing need for cleanup efforts. Much of the debris originates from runoff across the Rio Grande Valley, affecting the river's health. Organizers highlighted the importance of keeping the area clean for both wildlife and visitors.
