Dozens of volunteers with the Apartment Association of Greater Dallas put on their gloves and got to work cleaning up trash.
in Dallas is a place where you can be in nature without leaving the city. It's considered a 'gem of East Dallas,' but underneath its exterior, it's not always so shiny.
"Every year it's gonna be the same," Brandes said."It gets washed down here. People drop it out of their boats, you know. We just come out and do our little part."With rakes and shovels in hand, volunteers picked up a variety of things that don't belong on White Rock Lake's shores. Wyne said a lot of the litter around the lake is from people tossing things that end up in storm drains, which end up in White Rock Creek and then flow into the lake and onto the shores."We're mulching, and painting, and picking up trash that you see that gets washed up here," Brandes said.
