More than 6 tons of garbage has been removed from the sled hill at Spooner Junction this winter, according to a Lake Tahoe clean-up group.

“This winter, we removed 13,000 pounds of litter from the Spooner sled hill,” said Clean Tahoe Executive Director Katie Sheehan. “Volunteer cleanup efforts like this – and simply cleaning up after yourself – are crucial to protecting Tahoe’s beauty.”
