Novato garbage pile grows under bridge along creek
A large buildup of trash clogging a section of Novato Creek for the second time in a few months has prompted concern for residents, especially as the county prepares for the rainy season. City officials say plans are in place to remove the collection of trash bags, cardboard boxes and other rubbish from underneath the bridge leading from South Novato Boulevard to the Novato Fair Shopping Center. But nearby residents such as Jim Brind’Amour of Nave Court said they have grown frustrated with the illegal dumping and camping by homeless people in the creekbed bordering their homes.
