Sanitation crews are working hard to dispose of six months' worth of garbage from a community the size of Wahpeton or Valley City. The mountains of debris need to be moved before the spring thaw occurs.

Making a dent in the immense amount of trash being hauled out of the Oceti Sakowin protest camp is being hindered by the weather. All the garbage that was left behind is now frozen into massive chunks of junk.

In a month, all this trash could become toxic.

[...] It's estimated it will take 250 trucks filled with litter to clear the camp.

    Yeah! That's it! Fucking dirty white people with their toxic pipeline, and they have to blame it on the tribe? This all seems very familiar. And not in a good way.
