Plastic bags, plastic bottles and food containers were the main types of litter found at Riverfront Park by the 18 volunteers who participated here Saturday.
People of all ages joined Michaux in North Charleston on Sept. 18 to clean up Riverfront Park along Noisette Creek and the Cooper River. The cleanup was part of the 22nd Annual Beach Sweep/River Sweep, South Carolina’s largest one-day litter cleanup of beaches, marshes and waterways. The S.C. Sea Grant Consortium and S.C. Department of Natural Resources organize the statewide event, which is held in conjunction with the Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup. About 105 pounds of debris was collected from the park.
