Fines for littering are already in place but police have to see the littering happening unless of course it is a garbage bag with personal papers enclosed. The usual comment when reporting this "crime" is that they(police) did not witness it. Carry your camera with you, you know better than anyone that a picture is worth a thousand words. Bill Moses

I think Cindy and Chuck are right. Maybe we should all get together for a 'Spring Clean Up Walpole' day. Meet at the post office, hand out big trash bags, give out a route, assign partners and go for a specified amount of hours. Maybe Burdicks would consider handing out a free coffee for each bag of collected trash? If anyone wants to do it, give me a call - 756-4861. Tara Sad

Great idea - but I've picked up Wentworth Hill on my daily walk for years - it's never-ending. One guy is a "ritual litterer" - he tosses one empty Bud can and four lottery tickets, folded together and ripped halfway, at about the same spot at least once a week. As far as "catching" someone - be careful, people called on their littering can be very nasty!
