Half-Mile Litter Cleanup In Framingham This Weekend

FRAMINGHAM, MA — A group of Framingham volunteers will fan out across a more than half-mile stretch of Hollis Street this weekend for a litter cleanup.

The event is being organized by members of the Clean Up Framingham group, which formed during the pandemic as a way for local residents to help their community, get some fresh air and socialize safely.

This Saturday's event is a continuation of one held last weekend, when volunteers picked up litter between the Ashland line and Winthrop Street along Hollis — a 0.7-mile distance. This weekend's event will cover Winthrop Street to downtown Framingham.

If you want to join, the group is meeting at 10 a.m. at Amazing Things Arts Center, 160 Hollis St. Bring a mask, gloves and bags, and wear appropriate attire. The event will run until around noon.
