Brian Retterer and Trey Rex of Oneida Hearth and Hot Tubs help River Cleanup organizers Nate Welker and John Beard cut and remove rusted train rail that had fallen into the Allegheny River.
The nearly 10-foot piece of metal weighed 440 pounds and was recycled for $26 that will benefit the fourth Allegheny River Clean-up from Saturday, Sept. 15, to Saturday, Sept. 22.
The Allegheny River Tire Pile at the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and Market Street will once again display tires pulled from the river. Scrap metal donations, including appliances, will be accepted at the Tire Pile location. Electronics or tires should not be dropped off. A drug take-back station manned by the City of Warren Police Department and the Youngsville Borough Police Department will also be at the same location on Saturday, Sept. 22.
