Ditching fireworks for drones: North Shore of Lake Tahoe sees less Fourth of July trash

KCRA News Fourth of July fireworks and trash clean up on the fifth are two holiday traditions. The litter left behind on South Lake Tahoe beaches was so bad, one group said it looked like a landfill. More than 400 volunteers picked up nearly 8600 pounds of trash from six beaches. The League to Save Lake Tahoe has organized the annual July 5 “Keep Tahoe Red, White & Blue” Beach Cleanup since 2014. Despite several clean beaches, the organization says the trash removed this year is tragically at an all-time high on what is the 10th anniversary of Tahoe’s largest litter cleanup event. “This morning, one of Tahoe's beaches looked like a landfill. Thanks to passionate volunteers and community partners, it started to look like Tahoe again after some hard work,” said Dr. Darcie Goodman Collins, CEO of the League to Save Lake Tahoe. “To Keep Tahoe Blue, everyone who enjoys this place must act more like our volunteers and partners by doing their part." But cities on the North Shore are seeing less trash after ditching the fireworks for drones. "Today I came in and there was pretty much no trash on the beach," said Sam Barker.
