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.

Count me impressed: Wahpeton has about 350 inhabitants [wikipedia.org].
(yes I'm aware they probably mean "the other one" which clocks in at about 7800 folks.)
How about: "Roughly the number of athletes that joined the Olympics in Seoul in 1988"?
It still doesn't convey the number of folks there to anyone, but at least it relates to something most folks will have heard of. Even folks who do not live in Iowa ;-)
