Trash Talk: Where Are The Dirtiest Areas Of Worcester?

What areas in Worcester could use an Earth Day cleanup the most?

WORCESTER, MA — A row of attached rubber tires. Plastic flower pots. Diapers. Toys. A chewed up Italian grinder in its wrapper. A disco ball or a wig (we've seen both). Those dental floss picks (why are those always spotted on the streets and in parking lots?) In too many areas of towns and cities, litter is part of the landscape, blowing in the street, or embedded in the brush on the side of the road.

So we ask you, our readers - the residents - where are the most "trashed" areas in Worcester? What needs some attention this Earth Day season, and beyond?

Please share with us in the comments section below, or on our Facebook page. Or Tweet us.

We'll compile our "top dirtiest places in town" based on responses and share it with you below. Refresh this screen for updates to the list.

The Worcester Regional Environmental Council recently held a large city cleanup, and hosts events throughout the year.
