Saturday, April 23rd, was a beautiful day for Beautify Brewster. Twenty-one BPC volunteers showed up at 10 AM for the two hour clean up of Satucket and Slough Roads. This year, DNR created very detailed sheets to document the type of trash picked up. By far the biggest winner in terms of number was cigarette butts. Nip bottles, however, were a close second. Our group alone collected 253 nips. We are hoping that the State will either initiate a deposit or ban the sale altogether as so many end up on the side of the road. BPC photographer Bill Pomeroy went above and beyond the call of duty to pick up trash in addition to taking his usual great photos of the event. It was great to have him participate on both levels. Now we await the results of the DNR tally sheets. Comparing types of trash picked up from year to year will help future decisions regarding waste disposal.  Thank you so much to everyone who volunteered and made this day a great success!
