Watch 100+ volunteers clear trash off Lincoln Drive in Philadelphia

"It was a rare sight in Philadelphia as Lincoln Drive closed to vehicles and opened to volunteers for an hours-long clean-up campaign."

"Participants pulled car bumpers, tire rims, soda cans, and even electronics out of the streets and vegetation."

"Litter that collects on this winding road can end up in an important source of drinking water in Philadelphia: the Wissahickon Watershed."

"Organizers hope that drivers take notice of their hard work and think twice about littering."
