14,000+ pounds of trash: The cleanup efforts underway in the Salinas Riverbed and last updated 2020-12-22 20:28:15-05 Major cleanup efforts are underway in the Paso Robles Salinas Riverbed. "They cleaned up over 14,000 pounds of trash," said Commander Stephen Lampe of the Paso Robles Police Department. Police snapped before and after images of one of the larger cleanups on the southwest end of the riverbed last week. "We will continue to move northbound until we've gone to the northern city limits and then we come back here on the south end and we start over again and it's just kind of a continual loop," Commander Lampe explained.
