Description
There is always a lot of trash at this bus stop on the east side of Winthrop Circle at Rural Ave. I walk by here frequently and the trash is always there. It also collects on the property adjacent to the bus stop. A trash barrel (solar compactor, perhaps?) at that location would help. Thanks!

A year round ornamental trash receptacle would help, but litter is inevitable. It is not possible for any municipality to keep all of its spaces litter free. Even downtown Winchester, one of the most affluent towns in Massachusetts, has litter everywhere. The same type that Medford does.
It takes a community commitment to cleanliness. I clean my neighborhood park space every day. I use a $2 36" "pick up and grab" tool from Harbor Freight Tools. If we want a clean city, we must clean it ourselves.
How great it would be to have a "Clean Spaces Brigade" in Medford, 100 or so members dedicated to keeping their own neighborhoods free of litter.

David, I know some people that might want to join the brigade. And we could publicize it on the various social media people use. Any interest in organizing it?
In the meantime, I just got a reminder from SCF saying that this hasn't been addressed yet, so I'm wondering if there's any potential action on placement of a trash receptacle? I walked by this location recently, and there was none.
