Twenty-one Friends of Orinda Creeks volunteers spent their Saturday morning picking up trash and recyclables from 9 a.m. to noon Sept. 16 along a half mile of creek and creek banks in downtown Orinda as part of the annual beach and inland watershed Coastal Cleanup Day. Trash accumulates along San Pablo creek in downtown Orinda and flows downstream all the way to San Pablo Reservoir and beyond to San Francisco Bay. The group collected 150 pounds of garbage, including 12 bags of trash and eight bags of recycling.
