The group succeeded in removing 10 trash bags (x's 30 Ibs), plus 2 pallets, 1 door, 1 table, 1 rolling desk chair, a number of folding chairs, assorted pieces of metal, ice cooler, and random junk. There were also bottles and cans for recycling. Other board members went to other islands and provided assistance with cleanup work. The boat that went to IR9 & IR11 collected about 250 Ibs of trash.
