Toledo, Ohio, is taking a step to make sure Lake Erie remains trash-free. A new partnership between the University of Toledo, the City of Toledo and Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments (TMACOG) will bring trash traps to the area’s waterways, according to WTOL 11. These new capture devices, which will be installed at seven locations within 5 river miles of Lake Erie, will help prevent trash from reaching the Great Lakes.
The money for the trash traps comes from a $415,000 EPA Great Lakes Trash-Free Waters grant.
