Trash Talk: Where Are The Dirtiest Areas In Framingham?

FRAMINGHAM, MA—Diapers. A bag with a half-eaten Whopper. A row of attached rubber tires. Plastic flower pots. Toys. Dental picks (that's a common one). A disco ball or a wig (we've seen both strewn about the land). In too many areas of towns and cities, litter is part of the landscape, blowing in the street, or embedded in the brush on the side of the road.

With Earth Day looming (Earth Day is April 22 this year), most towns and cities are planning their events, and annual community clean-ups.

Framingham celebrates its annual Earth Day Festival on Saturday, April 28, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Framingham Center Common.

So we ask you, our readers - the residents - where are the most "trashed" areas in Framingham? What needs some attention this Earth Day season, and beyond?
