N.D. (AP) — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has moved into the evacuated Dakota Access pipeline protest camp to finish the cleanup started weeks ago by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.

A Florida-based company is providing trash removal and environmental cleanup on the federal land.

Authorities cleared the last holdouts from the camp near the Standing Rock Reservation, which straddles the North Dakota and South Dakota border. Thousands stayed there when the protest heated up in August, September and October.

Corps officials say about 240 truck loads of debris was hauled out from the main camp, each brimming with old food stores, structures, tents, building materials and personal belongings, much of which was buried under winter blizzards. Officials predict about 240 more truck loads will get the job done.

Below are photos submitted to NewsDakota.com of what the camp looked like before the debris was hauled away.
