Officials sweep 42 homeless camps and clear out 190 tons of trash from Sand Island
State law enforcement officers conducted a sweep this week at the Sand Island State Recreation Area following complaints of squatters yelling at beachgoers and dogs chasing people.
Officers from the Department of Land and Natural Resources’ Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement cleared 42 illegal campsites at Sand Island, state officials said.
Contractors removed about 190 tons of trash in three days, according to Department of Land and Natural Resources spokesman Dan Dennison. Bicycles and bike parts, mopeds, power tools, welding equipment, power tools, generators and cooking utensils were among the items hauled away during the cleanup.
