The pile of debris in the parking lot of the Mort Glosser Amphitheater in Gadsden might have looked bad, but it looked much worse when it was spread along the banks of the Coosa River through Etowah County.

Volunteers worked last week to remove as much debris as possible from the riverbanks as part of the annual Renew Our Rivers campaign, according to Lisa Dover, director of Keep Etowah Beautiful.

The final day of the cleanup launched Thursday morning in Rainbow City with volunteers from Rainbow City, Southside, Alabama Power, AT&T Pioneers, the Etowah County Detention Center’s SAPP program and the Neely Henry Lake Association.Dover said volunteers throughout the week worked in other areas, including groups from the cities of Gadsden and Hokes Bluff.
