BULLHEAD CITY – We don’t mind tourists leaving their money here, but not their trash. That was the message the Bullhead City Council sent to the 30,000 people who attend the River Regatta each year.


The council voted 4-3 Tuesday to put an end to the River Regatta, which attracted an estimated 30,000 partying rafters to the 10th annual event on the Colorado River in August.


They left a trail of trash that included inflatables, beer cans, plastic bottles, leftover food, clothes and sleeping bags strewn along the banks of the river.





City workers, contractors and volunteers spent two days cleaning up the trash around Davis Camp, Community Park, Rotary Park and Heritage Trail, according to the Mohave Valley Daily News
