We want to protect this ecosystem.”Ĭopyright 2023 by KSAT - All rights reserved.Fist in the air and unmistakable locks at large,Tommy Trash is not your stereotypical Dance icon. “The River Authority is highly concerned and visibly aware of the water quality here. You play a big role in the river, in the health and the condition of the river,” Mitchell said. I would really love folks just to take the message that this is your river, you own it. “Just to make folks aware of where the trash ends up, being mindful of trash and how you dispose of it and try to dispose of it properly. SARA launched a public awareness campaign “ Don’t Let Litter Trash Your River” to combat the trash they see after rain. If we start to see more and more rains, we easily get into those numbers or more that will be collected this year, unfortunately.” “Last year we had about 100,000 pounds of loose litter that was removed from this area. “Once it hits that street straight and is swept off, it goes in those storm drains and unfortunately the San Antonio River and some of our main tributaries that come into the river,” Mitchell said. With more rainy days ahead, the River Authority is asking people to be mindful of littering and not taking trash bins out earlier than their pickup date because chances are once it blows away or gets on the street, it will end up at Espada Park and other areas down the river. Mitchell said along with heavier items becoming stuck and damaging trees and branches, the items cleanup crews see the most are plastic bags and Styrofoam cups. “I think just awareness of that, being really mindful as far as your trash and how you manage your trash, would help a lot.” And we get a lot of responses saying ‘I had no idea, I didn’t realize this is where all that trash is going,’” Mitchell said. Featuring the vocals of award-winning British-American songwriter JHart, ‘Wake The Giant’ marks an ode to Tommys more melodic roots. “We have a lot of folks who utilize this area, do a lot of recreating here, fishing, hiking, things like that. Following up his global Platinum single Reload (with Sebastian Ingrosso & John Martin), Tommy Trash makes his debut on Armada with a mind-blowing summer smash. Mitchell said water at the crossing at Espada Dam can rise anywhere from eight to ten feet during heavy rainfall, meaning anything from old mattresses to blankets and rugs will get stuck along the tree line. “A lot of this trash is really just sitting in the storm drains, and then once we receive that rain, it just flushes it out.”

“Unfortunately after these rain events, we’re still in a highly urbanized area, this is where we’re going to really see a lot of this,” said SARA Watershed and Parks Operations Manager Tommy Mitchell. Officials with the San Antonio River Authority said trash and litter buildup is an ongoing issue at many waterways, especially near Espada Dam. SAN ANTONIO – A KSAT viewer recently shared images of piles of trash along the San Antonio River at Espada Park after recent heavy rains across the area.
