Despite the mud, slop and slide, 403 bags of trash was hauled away by Metro Waste Management. 283 tires (1 tractor, 35 car, 5 semi tractor trailer) were pulled out of the streams plus 2 refrigerators, 3 water heaters, 1 air conditioner, 1 TV, 8 propane tanks, 15 metal barrels, and 7 shopping carts. Miscellaneous objects included, a swing set, car parts, fencing, mattresses, and 1 orange bowling ball.
