During busy summer weekends, the Brandywine Creek is packed with sunbathers, swimmers, hikers, bikers, and people floating down the creek in canoes, tubes, or kayaks. United By Blue, Trail Creek Outfitters, and 32 volunteers picked up nearly 600 pounds of trash left along the Brandywine Creek by summertime visitors. 

Our Weird Trash Collection:
Lots and lots of beer bottles and cans
A lot for sale sign
A pool float
A kitchen knife
A mystery pump (we think it came from a paintball gun)
