Volunteers told Wicked Local they saw the most trash along roads that were not in the view of homes and in wooded areas.

“We found hundreds of cigarette butts! People smoke too much,” volunteer Amie Ghosh, 10, told Wicked Local.

Liquor bottles, cans, polystyrene coffee cups and all kinds of plastics were also in abundance, Wicked Local reported.
