Katie Hill was taking a walk along the Sac and Fox Trail in Cedar Rapids over the weekend when she spotted trash in Indian Creek.

Among what she saw were water bottles, pop cans, and even a basketball. She's lived there for over 20 years and has never seen it this bad. Hill is worried that the trash may kill off the fish, and end up in the Cedar River. She says if someone doesn't clean it up soon, she will.

She says, "I'd like to see if we can get donations for large equipment. Because this is something we can't get with nets or just standing there and get, we would need some type of backhoe to help dig this out. And then we're going to need a way to help haul this into a dump.”

Cedar Rapids Parks Superintendent Daniel Gibbins thinks the trash is likely form littering, and not illegal dumping. The fine for littering is $154.50, and that includes court cost.
