BOISE - More than 250 volunteers are spending their weekends combing the water for trash.
Last year, the group found 5,800 pounds of trash during the floating season.
They find many strange items, even a few wallets.
“[We find] parking meters, bicycles…all kinds of stuff,” said Boise River volunteer Chris Crawford.
Crawford began the volunteer program four years ago to help keep the Boise River clean.
