I remember driving past the section that runs through Paterson and Hawthorne a few years ago after a big flood subsided. The trees and bushes on the banks had literally thousands of plastic bags and other debris caught in their branches.

The islands above Dundee Dam are atrocious, with plastic bottles, bags and other debris shin deep in places. Also balls galore. Basketballs, soccer balls, volley balls, baseballs, softballs. It's really a shame.
