I was out at the walking track the other day with my niece and we notice there was garbage in the creek and on the ground. We also noticed the trash can placed so nicely at the entrance of the track. Please do not trash up our town, some of us do not wish to walk or live in trash. Thank you for your corporation on this matter.
