So let’s clean it up! I live nearby and can provide pick-up truck to toss trash and recyclables into, then bring to dump. I’m available from 9 to 10 a.m this Thursday or Friday. Will start at corner of Winter and Old County so long as there are volunteers. Anyone? If interested, contact me with preferred morning. —Heather Anderson 617-605-6854
