New Bedford Guide Your Guide to New Bedford and South Coast, MA
A few weeks ago New Bedford resident Bryan Dion made a public appeal to anyone who wished to help him clean up Turner Pond. The area had appeared to be used by locals as an unofficial city dump, depositing tires, scrap metal, debris, and refuse over several years.
On Saturday, October 10th a few people showed up to assist Bryan, and on the following Sunday about a half dozen more. Here are photos and details:
“Thank you all for the help at Turner Pond today and yesterday. I know I missed some of you. I was on the Shawmut Ave site on the Plainville roadside most of the morning.
Special thanks to Jayson for the removal of the tires. I left a big pile of scrap metal at the Turner Pond site for any scrappers. Thanks all! The counts for the clean up are 40 tires, 26 full trash bags, plus lots of scrap metal.”-Bryan Dion.
