Trash Talk: Where Are The Dirtiest Areas In Wayland?

WAYLAND, 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.

Wayland comes together to clean up the town of itsannual Earth Day eventon Saturday, April 7, organized by Transition Wayland.

Stop by one of two stations, at the Cochituate Ball Field (40 West Plain St.) or at the Department of Public Works (66 River Road), between 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to grab free bags, gloves and instructions. Sort recyclables and trash. For large or hazardous items, email Transition Wayland to arrange a pickup.

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