Garbage piles along the Charles river.
June 26, 2008 - 4:23pm — WilliamONeill
As people celebrate the 4th on the Charles, they may be happy to find trash receptacles to help them depart with their waste. But if you are a resident in 02141, you know that these receptacles are only temporary. What you see for the rest of the year will shock you. There are only three receptacles between the Museum of Science and the Mass Ave bridge. If you call the DCR and ask why, they will tell you they will look into it. They have been telling us this for the past three years. People often put the trash where the barrels should be. Does anyone have any ideas for a solution?

Hey William,
I've noticed the same thing. It's appalling. Who have you spoken to at DCR? Maybe some calls and e-mails will annoy someone into actually doing something. Rich Corsi is one name that comes to mind,and Karl Haglund is another.
This afternoon there were five in place, but none at the public dock. They were at both ends of this area but not in the middle. As a boater, I know that the site by the dock is heavily used. People show up ready to go out for the day with lots of stuff. A lot of packaging gets discarded before the trip, and then there is a lot more trash at the end and nobody wants to take it home.
The trash can just down stream from thee was still missing too.
