Arcade Creek Cleanup @ Norwood Ave, 6/15/24
On Saturday morning, 17 SUPERSTAR volunteers arrived for the 19th cleanup we’ve had at this location. With the water dry and the temps increasing, there are more illegal encampments now and the volume of trash and personal affects has increased tremendously.
We continued to clean downstream of the encampments residing under the Norwood Avenue bridge, along a grove of trees that is in the natural wetlands area of Arcade Creek. We tackled the trash and debris that had been caught and captured along the tree line, unwrapping plastic bags, tarps, and tents from the tree trunks, removing mattresses and couch cushions under the canopy, along with plastic bags, plastic, cups, shoes, tires, cloth...

RCWA 🪫Battery Bash🔋 + Needles/eWaste, 6/12/24
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.14 часов назад
🪫 𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐁𝐀𝐒𝐇 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 🔋 On February 12, 2023, RCWA began what felt like a "small" study. Rather than systematically delivering needles, batteries, knives and other hazardous items to our local Household Hazardous Waste facilities as they were recovered, we would store them for 1 year and then evaluate and disclose the results at the end of the 1 year period. Due to our busy schedules, we extended...
Steelhead Creek Cleanup @ Northgate, 6/12/24

On Wednesday morning, 7 RCWA volunteers were 🎶All Fired Up🎶 for another chance to clean Steelhead Creek with our friends at ACTenviro. And what a spectacular morning it was. Upon arrival, the ACT team had already corralled 8 shopping carts and a bunch of loose trash from the area near Northgate. The two teams then joined forces and cleaned together under the Northgate bridge. It was a huge mess...

On Saturday, 23 tenacious volunteers worked to scour the banks and channel of Arcade Creek at Norwood Ave, for the 17th cleanup at this location. The sun was out and the smiles were bountiful while we removed a trailer load of trash from the channel and lower bank. Many illegal camps have turned this creek into a landfill, so we are working hard to reverse the effects. 💚 Pulling an estimated 3,...

This is David, and like many of RCWA’s incredible, dedicated volunteers, 🎶I Don’t Wanna Stop🎶 cleaning our waterways. With room left in the City dumpster after our morning Robla Creek event on Saturday, Lisa, Randy and I decided to take our trailer over to Arcade Creek near Watt Avenue to see if we could fill it up. We hadn’t visited this section of creek in several months, and it showed. In le...
Robla Creek Cleanup 2.0, 6/8/24
Просмотров 210День назад
On Saturday morning, 32 trash-ready volunteers returned to Robla Creek to take care of some unfinished business. During our last visit, we attacked a massive mess of encampment trash and debris abandoned on an island in the middle of the creek. It was too voluminous and embedded to finish the last time we were there so we had to return for a second visit! 😳 Both the water and land crews had ple...

Sunday was an incredible cleanup with 34 fabulous volunteers including many new people. We worked cleaning several terraced camps cut right into the hillside next to Sunrise Blvd bridge. Sacramento County Regional Parks had already been through with maintenance crews, using the bobcat. RCWA volunteers were still able to collect about 8,200 pounds of trash, including over 339 batteries and 79 ne...

Greetings on this Memorial Day, we hope you all are well this evening. 🇺🇸 🎶Doctor My Eyes🎶 could barely stand the sight of a small 1/3 mile stretch of Arcade Creek we first encountered last year downstream of Palm Avenue. But dozens of cleanups later after 70,000 lbs of trash has been arduously removed by volunteers , including over 70 shopping carts, things are looking up. On Sunday morning, o...

On Saturday morning, 17 superstar volunteers came out prepared and ready to tackle more of the trash plaguing Arcade Creek near Norwood Ave. This was our 16th visit to this same footprint due to the sheer volume of trash illegal encampments discard into the creek and/or fail to move during high water flows. After three hours, we removed another 6,000 pounds of sandy & muddy debris from the chan...

𝐖𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐭!!! Well, it wasn’t a 🎶Blue Monday🎶 - in fact, it was a very happy Friday, but what the heck.

During our hundreds of cleanups at Arcade Creek, we often encounter folks who know nothing about the creek … its name, where it originates, that its waters flow unfiltered all the way to the Pacific Ocean, or that it has become a literal landfill in so many sections. Well, we are working hard to erase these unknowns … to ensure we aren’t c...

Great trio of volunteers, did an amazing cleanup after a prior cleanup before. I scratch my head where do they get all that energy, thank you!💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Still after 18 cleanups at Norwood, lots of trash buried. These amazing volunteers never give up. Thank you so much!💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💚💚💚
These RCWA always hold their heads high. They are amazing, digging, pulling trash out where it should never had been. They are the best!💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
amazing teamwork 👏👏👏💚
So nice to see Lisa with an orange hat, as a Dutchie I love orange. 😁 Her smile is always lovely 💚👍🏻😎
Squadra straordinaria , grazie mille per il vostro lavoro !!💚
Jeez... 😮😮😮

Would u look at all these beautiful damn peoplez fuckin amazing 🥳🤗
Impressive. And, heartbreaking.
Wow!!! Great job!! I appreciate you all!
Amazing numbers 💚👍🏻😎
Congratulations to all the helpers who collected all these toxic and dangerous items. This was a ‘powerful’ message.
Great work!
I wish I would of known I would of lent a hand we should have pride in our community
Plenty of other chances. We have at least 4-5 cleanups every single week. Check out our Event calendar on our Facebook page. Thank you!
Thank goodness ACT were able to help you get all that stuff. Good job everyone.
💚👍🏻😎
What’s with all the bicycle parts at these camps? Presumably they are stolen bicycles taken to bits so that they can’t be identified but would anyone want to buy parts of bicycles from these areas? What a waste.
💚👍😎
💚👍😎
💚👍😎
💚👍😎 Epic job again!
David, Lisa and Randy, you're Awesome! Excuse me for saying that the high-energy song interferes with your talking voices, which I'd prefer to hear. Your actions and the evident result already speak volume. Thank you, good folks.
Thanks for the support and feedback. These amateur videos of ours typically have a variety of defects. We are stretched far too thin. Oh well, lol.
@@rivercitywaterwayalliance4646 No music means one task less for you. Actually, RCWA's videos are very good. They're clear about each task's location, goal, the time it takes, the number of volunteers, the volunteers in action, the end result. They're informative, uplifting and inspiring. Hope over time you'll attract more views, subscribers and support for the cause.
So much bulky trash! Looks like all the volunteers had extra servings of spinach before they started working. Phenomenal efforts and results that benefit our waterway ecosystems.
You folks are amazing. You bring back peace and beauty to every area you clean. Thank you.
You guys are great! Wish more people were like you in helping the envoirnment. Please2 make longer videos.👍💪☺️
What an epic cleanup, loved the bag toss. Mark Baker is an amazing leader. Thank you RiverCityWaterwayAlliance volunteers!💚👏🏼💪🏼💚👏🏼💪🏼
It's nice to see sheep and goats grazing in the area. Thank you for cleaning up.
💚👍🏻😎
Great working with ACTenviro team. Thank you volunteers, love the end of video, when geese make their appearance.💚💚👏🏼👏🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Friday Arcade Creek Heroes, thank you. Time after time you all getting it done!💚👏🏼💪🏼
The pit that keeps on giving. 🤦♀️. Hope you don't have to revisit it again. Great job team!!!
This song is good, but not enough cowbell.
😂
Veramente bravi❤
Thank you, good folks, for caring and cleaning the creek. The geese swimming in the flowing water must be satisfying to see.
"DID SOMEBODY SAY: A goose and its babies? 😎"
💚👍🏻😎

just started watching your clean ups. Here in Canada we have to sort all the trash 1 Pop beer cans,beer bottles juice bottles must be recycled.2 all metal must be recycled 3 all tires must be recycled 4 wood goes to construction recycling so clean ups are much harder.
Regular household and commercial trash is to be separated. Tires, e-waste, appliances, organic materials, and metals all have a separate area in the dump. The plastic bottles and such from our cleanups are usually so dirty and contaminated, it is not recyclable, plus the sheer volume of trash we encounter makes it a challenge to separate. We do separate batteries and any hazardous waste we find and dispose of them properly. Thank you for your support and watching our videos! We are dedicated to showing how bad our waterways are and hope you enjoy seeing our progress! 🙂
Stunning. Sad but also so preventable. Thank you RCWA for all your hard work.
Lots of great video, so we could see what everyone was working on. Great video Lisa. Thank you RCWA for another great cleanup at Norwood!💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🦡🦡🦡
That was an amazing mop up. RiverCityWaterwayAlliance dedication to this part of ArcadeCreek is unsurpassed. Passion, muscle, perseverance is what this crew have. Do proud of all these volunteers!💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💚💚💚🦡🦡🦡
Totally blown away by your group.😊
You folks are incredible! Thank you for the hard work.
Like the loggers use a mobile yarder with grapple carriage & a cable winch assist. I see a mechanical advantage with using the same kind of equipment the loggers use to destroy old growth forests to hoist heavy rubbish from creek bottoms and restore nature's beauty.
It would be great if we had the adequate funds and access for that type of equipment. Unfortunately, even even we had the funding for that type of equipment, most of Arcade Creek is only accessible by foot.
💚👍🏻😎
