Brief description of the trash site
This is a very steep hillside with wetlands at the bottom. It should be done before poison ivy leafs out. Briar pants would be a good idea.
The photo shows one trash bag, but the large number of bottles are strewn over too wide an area to photograph.
Accessible from State St., visible from the road when leaves are down. Marshy at the bottom, especially in Spring.
Type(s) of trash at the site
A few Kitchen size trash bags and many many bottles and cans
