“Litter is a big and often overlooked problem for our neighborhoods and waterways. Trash, debris, contaminants and other refuse that doesn’t get disposed of properly becomes a nuisance and worse, it ends up in the river through the storm drains,” said Savannah Riverkeeper Tonya Bonitatibus.”The cleanup program is an opportunity for citizens to make a direct impact where they live.”
