2011 Cleanup Chronicle:
Cleanup Trash Site Scouting ReportDoes your town have a dirty litter secret? Report it here.
In the last few years, several cases of on-going pollution have been stopped thanks to reports from concerned residents of the watershed. And some decades-old violations have been brought to the attention of local authorities. These before and after photos tell a success story from 2010 when a concerned citizen reported this riverbank tire dump to us. We alerted Mass DEP, whose intervention resulted in the landowner restoring the river bank.
If you are uncertain about whether the trash site is in the watershed, take a look at this map. While we cannot clean up trash sites ourselves, we will inform local volunteer groups about sites, and will inform Source to Sea Cleanup groups in the area about the trash. By helping us to identify sites early, you have taken a really important step toward an organized, dynamic and rewarding Cleanup. The Connecticut River Watershed Council appreciates you taking the time to report a site in need of help. |
