Adopt-A-Street or Spot
Is there a Hyde Park street or spot that is near and dear to your heart? Perhaps it is the street you live on, a park you visit with your kids, or a route you normally walk or run. Does it bother you to see it filled with litter? If the answer is YES, be part of the solution and adopt-a-street or spot to help keep Hyde Park litter-free. You can sign up as an individual, family, community group, or business. All we ask is that you agree to clean up your adopted route at least once per month.

Litter Task Force petitionFrom Cape Cod to Boston to the Berkshires and everywhere in between, litter is visible along virtually every Massachusetts highway, sidewalk, public park, hiking trail, and beach. Every year, our state spends millions of dollars cleaning up this mess, and volunteers devote countless hours battling the ever-growing piles of litter. Yet virtually no money or effort is dedicated to LITTER PREVENTION in Massachusetts.
Keep Massachusetts Beautiful recently launched a new petition drive to urge our Governor, state and local legislators, and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) to launch a statewide Litter Prevention & Cleanup Task Force. Please sign the petition AND share it with your friends. |
Hyde Park Nip Bottle HuntThe Great Hyde Park Nip Bottle Hunt has begun! Kelly’s Liquor Mart is offering KHPB a five cent bounty for every nip bottle we can collect (up to 10,000) and an anonymous donor is matching those funds. We need your help to reach this goal! Please collect any discarded nips you see in our community and drop them off during one of our volunteer events, or bring them to Kelly's Liquor Mart (871 Hyde Park Ave.) and leave them in the nip collection bucket across from the register.
