A pop-up cleanup along a Chilliwack river edge netted much of the usual trash, and some not-so-commonly found items.

Among the food garbage, plastics and discarded camping items, a group cleaning up the Vedder River stumbled upon a bag of discarded, dirty and unwrapped sex toys.

It was probably the most surprising find for the group, which formed on Facebook over the last month by organizer Nita Vallillee.

91裸聊视频淭his was an event created by myself as my family and I discovered all that mess about a month ago,91裸聊视频� Vallillee said. 91裸聊视频淲e had to wait for the snow to melt to be effective in our clean up effort.91裸聊视频�

That was about one month ago, and dozens off people showed up for the cleaning event held Sunday, March 24. The ad-hoc group consisted of families, four-wheel drivers, kayakers, hikers, and others just wanting to keep the rivers clean. Because this event is a non-sponsored one, volunteers had to bring all their supplies to the site, to the 46100 block of Chilliwack Lake Road.

There were areas that they couldn91裸聊视频檛 clean up, Vallillee says, because they were still being used.

91裸聊视频淭here were two very large active sites that I have had some aggressive verbal contact with, so we avoided them,91裸聊视频� she said. 91裸聊视频淚t was brought to my attention that one of the camps was cooking meth, too. Yikes.91裸聊视频�

The camps that were still occupied were the ones that had the most trash, she added.

In total, they cleaned up about 600 lbs of trash, including shopping carts, tires, propane tanks, lawn chairs, burnt clothing, food waste, hundreds of needles which were mostly uncapped, assorted plastic items, a kids bike stroller, burned tent frames and old tent poles, sheet metal, and the curious bag of sex toys.

91裸聊视频淚 am very satisfied with the results and plan on having Griffin evict the other camps to do a proper clean up,91裸聊视频� she said. And she91裸聊视频檚 not done with her efforts. Vallillee has a few other areas in her sites for future pop-up cleanups. This clean up was in addition to the annual one held by the Chilliwack Vedder Cleanup Society. That event takes place on April 13.
