19.5 volunteer hours, 16 bags of trash, 7 bags of recyclables

Thanks to the twelve volunteers who came to the greenbelt this morning to celebrate the true spirit of the holidays.  Together we contributed 19.5 hours of volunteer time and collected 16 bags of trash plus 7 bags of recyclables.  Thanks to Keep Austin Beautiful for providing the cleanup supplies and to the Parks and Recreation Department for collecting the full trash bags.

The most unusual object found during the cleanup was a bone.  Think he's hungry? 

Other unusual objects found this morning included a basketball, gym bag, and a metal arch.
