Reno Gazette reports about the Lake Tahoe cleanup and reports these statisticsPieces of trash removed: 24,756Aluminum cans: 4,527 – about 146 pounds of cans.

Each tank can provide a diver with oxygen for 45 minutes to an hour. (actually they provide us with air, which is 21 perecent oxygen, so essentially correct)Heavy-lift items: 482. Some items, like engine blocks, are too heavy or bulky for divers to remove. Those items were marked with GPS coordinates and crews will return later to pick those items up.Tennis and golf balls: 468Sunglasses and other accessories: 294Tires: 170.
