Help Keeping Lake Havasu City Lake Clean

Realtor  ~  Lake Havasu City Real Estate

Trash has always been a problem on any lake around the world, but keeping Lake Havasu Lake clean is what residents around the community of Lake Havasu City are concerned about.  Therefore, the London Bridge Yacht Club and the Lake Havasu City Marine Association banded together Tuesday in a huge volunteer effort to clean up a popular beach on the lake known as "That Beach", which was found extremely littered with trash over the weekend.

Many believe it was the work of local resident teenagers looking to have a little extra fun.  The trash cans were just stocked with plenty of trash bags, as they always are at the end of the week, so there will be plenty for the weekenders to have on hand.

On Tuesday, the volunteers bagged the mess.  Then, the Marine Association transported it to the Windsor boat launch ramp so it could be transported to dumpsters. 

Most local residents complain that the litter washing up on the beach is from Californians, but this time no one can deny that this was a locals only littering problem.

Now, because of last weekend's incident, there are eight new trash-bag posts on the shores of the beach and parking area.  This brings the number of trash bag post stations to 61. 

Many of the trash bag post stations are sponsored by companies.  So, if you own a business and would like to sponsor a trash bag post station to help keep the lake clean, you can call the Marine Association (Jim Salscheider - 928-208-2442) or the London Bridge Yacht Club (928-854-5292) to speak with someone about it anytime.  The initial sponsorship is $295 with a maintenance fee of $100 every year thereafter for trash bags.

It would be great if we could get more locals to not only volunteer with the cleanup effort, but to stop the littering in the first place.  Then we wouldn't need so many to volunteer for a clean up in the future.  However, in the meantime, it would be great to have more sponsors for trash bag post stations.  The more the lake has, the less likely anyone will be to litter.
