Historic Northeast residents took advantage of almost perfect weather Saturday morning to clean up their community. Dumpsters were placed at six centralized locations with tire collection and document shredding located at Concourse Park. Scott Wagner, Director of NEAT (NorthEast Alliance Together) noted a significant decrease in traffic at most of the dumpster locations, citing specifically the drastically reduced number of tires collected. “Whether that’s due to dumpsters placed in neighborhoods every month or people just taking advantage of the weather and doing other things, I don’t really know, but we’re significantly down,” Wagner said. x MICHAEL BUSHNELL
