Controlling floatables in Harbor Brook

Netting collects debris in Harbor Brook
|
Urban trash can all too easily reach streams and
Onondaga Lake in the Syracuse urban area. Stopping the
trash enables residents to make fuller and more
satisfying use of area streams and the resources of
the Lake.
By removing debris from Harbor Brook, Onondaga Lake will receive less visible pollution.
Onondaga County has placed a
floating net-bag collection system—consisting of three
net bags—at the end of Harbor Brook near
Onondaga Lake to collect and remove ordinary trash and
floating items before they reach the Lake.
