This photo was also taken during the clean up weekend. Dual hooks were used by a crane during this time to speed the removal of various items which included rolls of fencing (in picture neat top), furniture, cars, snowmobiles, fuel oil tanks, appliances, tires and rims along with countless dumpsters filled with paper, tin cans, glass bottles, and other general household garbage.

Of particular note, also found was a fair amount of hospital related items such as used syringes.

This photo was taken after a clean up weekend. Many of the larger items had been removed. Although it apears to be quite clean, do not be fooled! There is, at best guess, an additional 5 feet of garbage still remaining at the bottom of the sink. The side where the Gal is walking is also garbage, depth unknown.
