Residents say garbage near Flat Creek, which empties into Lake Lanier, includes everything from cans and bottles to television sets and furniture.
Resident Jerry Guhl tells CBS Atlanta that the floating debris is like a giant island of garbage. Homeowners this week were using poles to pull bags of trash from the water.
The homeowners believe the garbage comes from storm drains that accumulate litter from people who throw their trash on the ground. They say when the drains are washed out during storms, the litter ends up in the lake.
