They found everything, plus the bathroom sink

Area canoers and kayakers embarked on a journey to tidy up Chartiers Creek June 25.

Participants floated from Crafton to McKees Rocks, removing 743 pounds of refuse from the water. Included in that trash haul were 22 tires, one shopping cart, a bathroom sink, an office desk chair, cartop carrier and one children’s bike.

The annual event was organized by Allegheny Cleanways and the Lower Chartiers Watershed Association.
