MINETTO, NY – On Monday, April 25, members of the Minetto Beautification Committee and other volunteers participated in a spring spruce up for the River View Park, with a Canal Clean Sweep along the Oswego Canal and River.

Approximately a mile of riverside was covered for the event, from River View Park and Minetto Bridge, south along the canal/river and dugway.

The litter found when collected, seemed typical as elsewhere, was fast food wrappers/containers and cans and bottles and cigarette butts.

Thanks to all that participated, keeping the canal/riverside clean for our community!
