Editorial Opinion Commentary
Holyoke must
become a
‘Clean City’
The Issue: Trash and litter is a constant problem in most
communities
Our Response: Turning Holyoke into a “Clean City”
requires teamwork
I
t is laudable that a variety of city officials and commu-
nity groups are focused on Mayor Elaine A. Pluta’s
“Clean City Initiative.” Among those involved are the
Dept. of Public Works, the Hampden County Sheriff’s
Dept. and United Water. In addition, assistance is being
sought from local residents.
While a crew from the Sheriff’s Dept. concentrates on
vacant city properties, litter clean-ups in Wards 1 and 2
and trimming and maintenance along Canal Street, the
DPW uses a litter vacuum to clean the downtown and
business district.
Rory Casey, the citizen representative on the mayor’s
committee, is trying to elicit assistance from residents so
clean-ups can be organized on a street-by-street and
ward-by-ward basis. “At the end of the day, that’s what
we really need to have,” said Casey.
Fortunately, there is a model that can be followed.
For some time, Ward 4 residents Daphne Board and her
husband, Stan Geddes, have been organizing weekly
“Trash Bashes” in their neighborhood. On their own,
World Cup brings back
they encourage friends and other interested parties to
join in the clean-ups that include roads, tree belts, alleys
and anywhere else they spot litter and trash.
