A small crew of Sacred Heart Parish School students, their parents and two teachers gathered to do a San Benito river bed clean up Saturday. San Benito High School chemistry teacher Mike Carroll, his grandson Riley, Sacred Heart science teacher Jim Ostdick and the other volunteers removed 1,000 pounds of trash from the river bed.
They worked in an area near the Hospital Road crossing, where they found mattresses, box springs, spray paint cans, motor oil, a shower door, plastic kiddie polls, a Slip ‘n’ Slide and tires. They collected 25 trash bags of other miscellaneous trash.
San Benito County Public Works staff members agreed to pick up the trash Monday morning.
