A group of volunteers cleaned up an authorized dump site on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.
Bobby Sullivan, the Oglala Sioux Tribe's solid and hazardous-waste, said people have been dumping trash as the site since 1973. Running water has washed the trash down to a small pond.
The cleanup project took a week. Some of the volunteers were inmates at the tribal jail.
