Much of the trash that has been accumulated at the Tijuana River channel has been collected and piled in preparation to remove it, the United States Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission said on Monday.

A total of 10 trash containers with a capacity of 40 cubic yards each have been collected so far, with an expected increase in the number of containers as the cleanup effort continues.

The USIBWC is working with a licensed landfill to arrange for the hauling off of the trash. The cleanup effort is expected to take another three to four weeks.
