This trash heap is history: Volunteer cleanup rids Delta island of illegally dumped garbage

NEARLY THREE-DOZEN people gave up a part of their weekend this past Saturday to take part in a community cleanup event at Roberts Island in San Joaquin County, organized by the Port of Stockton along with partner organizations, tenants and members of the community.

The initiative was part of Clean California Community Days — Spring Into Action, a state-wide 11-day event that concluded Monday. It was sponsored by the Governor’s Office and Caltrans.
