Garbage thrown into the ditches on the side of the road finds its way into the irrigation canals and heads its way to Mill Creek and then to the Willamette River.

Some is diverted into irrigation canals built by farmers with oxen and horses. It doesn’t make sense to throw garbage into the water that supplies our food.
