Fenway Park filled to the brim with plastic bottles. That dramatic image conveys the volume of bottle litter we throw away in Massachusetts each year. Most of it gets deposited in landfills.

It’s disgusting! Even my 4 year old comments on how gross it is. Maybe they didn’t put it there, but the people who live in where the mess is should pick up a broom and shovel and scoop it up. How can you live with this at your doorstep?
Our residential and commercia neighbors should be cleaning up the street & sidewalks in front of their buildings. This includes my building 350 North Street
I would like to see the view from the street so we can see what address this is.
@ John – it isn’t one address. North street in its entirety looks like this. So unacceptable.
During the winter months, almost every street looks like this. I clean the street in front of my building several times a week but my efforts are almost useless. Windswept trash appears almost instantly. It’s a losing battle. There are so many factors that cause this problem; improper trash disposal, lack of public trash cans and certainly the suspension of street sweeping until April 1st. It’s a very unpleasant sight for residents and visitors.
