Annual Litter Dash helps clean up Sioux City
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — On Friday, the City of Sioux City invited residents, businesses, schools, and community groups to the annual Sioux City Litter Dash.
The litter cleanup event aims to help beautify the Siouxland community and reduce the impact of litter on the environment. Around 600 volunteers were split into different sections of Sioux City to pick up as much litter as they could while trying to reach a goal of collecting four to five tons.
Woodbury County Parks will open on May 1
'Obviously, it's a great way to meet other people that like the environment, that enjoy getting out and doing things for our community,' said Arah Montagne with Sioux City Environmental Services. 'It's great for our community to keep it clean. I know we get a lot of fence lines in there that get a lot of trash caught on them. So we want to keep those areas clean, especially with summer coming up, and we have a lot of visitors.'
The Litter Dash began at noon and ended at 3 p.m.

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until it's aromatic but not browned. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper, and let the sauce bubble for a few minutes until it begins to thicken. Add the Parmesan cheese to the sauce and stir continuously until it melts into a creamy blend. Add the cooked linguine into the skillet and gently toss it in the sauce until every strand is coated. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and stir to combine everything. Finish with parsley. Enjoy! Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
