"More than 14,000 volunteers -- armed with disposable trash bags -- gathered at Los Angeles County beaches, parks and creeks Saturday and removed 150 tons of trash during the region's annual cleanup day.
This year's haul marked a 65% increase from last year's total of 181,000 pounds of refuse, organizers said. In addition, the number of volunteers rose by 15% from last year.
The event was part of the 25th Annual California Coastal Cleanup Day, organized by Heal the Bay, a nonprofit environmental group, in partnership with the California Coastal Commission and the L.A. County Department of Public Works."
