During the Yuba River Cleanup we encourage volunteers to keep on the lookout for unique trash to enter into the ‘Trash or Treasure’ contest. We typically award prizes at our post-Cleanup volunteer appreciation party. We’ve had to do things a bit different this year, so we’re offering an extended online contest.
We had a number of great entries. Please see below for the: Most Fashionable Find, Most Historical Find, Most Unusual Find, Most Useful Find, and (new this year) Most ‘Above & Beyond’ the Call of Duty.
Thank you to everyone who participated and submitted photos!
