The launch of the Great St. Lawrence River Cleanup began on Saturday and kept volunteers and crews very busy, pulling everything from plastic bottles to shopping carts to half of a car out of the river along Cornwall Harbour. “What the divers are doing right now is putting the garbage into piles,” said Karen Cooper, organizer of the cleanup. “They put it all together and then they will hoist it out on July 23.” Cooper said there were about 65 people involved in the cleanup. “Jared (Baker) and his guys pulled out half a car out of the river by themselves,” said Cooper. Cooper said this year they have added recycling to the event.
