On Sunday, March 27th, the Save The Great South Bay Creek Defenders teamed up with Keep Islip Clean for a cleanup in a small section of Pardees Creek where it goes under Spur Drive.

They picked up a tire, a gas powered weed trimmer; minus the motor, a bucket, 10 bags worth of bottles, cans, plastic items/bags , a big container of used motor oil that was out in the creek, some metal part that looked like the frame for a folding table, a trash bag of household garbage that was in the creek and a child’s wading pool (that’s the big round blue thing) way out from the road.

A big thank you to Bill Raftery, an amazing clean up volunteer, Keep Islip Clean and to all the volunteers who showed up to Start Where They Stand.
