E-scooters sometimes end up in Sacramento’s waterways. Who removes them?
… Crystal Tobias is a longtime river cleanup volunteer in the Sacramento region. She said e-scooters have become a recurring problem during river cleanups she’s participated in. “Oh, dozens and dozens of them,” Tobias said. “Maybe over a hundred. It’s every waterway… Steelhead Creek, Arcade Creek, the American River, Discovery Park. It’s just rampant.” … She said lithium-ion batteries attached to e-scooters and other components contribute to water pollution. She says this is especially a concern in Sacramento’s waterways that are salmon and steelhead habitats.
