Local litter traps and litter crews working in overtime due to constant rainfall
Heavy rainfall is causing major overflows. Litter traps like the ones on Dog River and Eslava Creek are catching the loose garbage.
The Osprey Initiative, LLC has been working overtime. In fact, President Don Bates earned his nickname “The Litter Gitter” because of the time he’s spent reducing polluted waterways.“It’s pretty much full-time and our plan is for the next month to catch up on the rain that we’ve had. We need it to stop so we can get started.”“It’s bizarre. Somebody said somewhere in Mobile County over the last month it’s rained 24 days straight,” added Bates.
“I’m a truck driver, we do a lot of tarping during the rains so it’s been real wet with a lot of dangerous roads,” he said.
