Last year, more than 1,200 volunteers removed a record-breaking 128 tons of trash and debris, including large debris and hundreds of encapsulated dock floats with the help of marine contractors and their barges. Since Shore Sweep began, volunteers have removed more than 2.58 million pounds of trash from Lake Lanier.
