2009 International Coastal Cleanup Final Results

In Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia Counties, 21.57 tons (43,149 pounds) of trash and litter was removed from local waterways and the Delaware Estuary in a coordinated effort by volunteers on International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) Day. The ICC, sponsored by the Ocean Conservancy, is the world’s largest single-day, volunteer effort focused on cleaning the world’s waterways! TTF participated along with a group of dedicated volunteers, picking up 1402 pounds of trash and litter at Wall Park. See photos and our original post here.

Thanks to all of you who helped to improve the quality of our waterways and environment!
