Love Your Lake Hamilton Day 1

Hamilton

Definitely the nicest day yet! No wind!! We started out at 50 Point Conservation Area where we picked up a million pieces of plastic...well not a million but 2,790 pieces is close enough. There were a lot of straws and plastic bottle caps and hundreds of pieces of unidentifiable plastic. After two hours of digging there was still lots left but we had to move on to the next cleanup. We headed over to Confederation Park and cleaned along the shoreline all the way over to Skyway Park. Here we found 567 pieces. The midges were horrendous. Overall a great day with a total of 3,357 pieces of litter collected.

    The cigarette butts can be recycled at terracycle.
