Over 200 pounds of trash was collected throughout Seahurst Park on Friday, Feb. 20, with help from folks at the Environmental Science Center (ESC), the City of Burien, AVID students from Highline High School, Puget Soundkeeper Alliance, and the WA Conservation Corps.
All together there were seven bags of trash, four of which consisted entirely of recyclables.
Some of the more bizarre findings included:
- a laptop battery charger
- several pairs of shoes
- a soiled diaper


“These [AVID] students were generous with their time, and willing to learn and question and wonder about what we were doing, and the place we did it in. They in turn, teach us.â€Join Puget Soundkeeper Alliance Soundkeeper’s mission is to protect and preserve the waters of Puget Sound by monitoring, cleaning up, and preventing pollutants from entering its waters.
