Waukegan Beach Clean-Up


Volunteers and friends help clean up Waukegan Municipal Beach to make it more enjoyable for everyone.  George Emery of Waukegan breaks up dead bushes, allowing for more growth of live bushes and room for planting more.  (Mark Ukena/Sun-Times Media)

Piles of trash build up high as the volunteers keep finding more and more garbage, it will take a long time before all the rubbish is picked up, but it will be worth having a clean beach for all to enjoy.  (Mark Ukena/Sun-Times Media)
