The term, talking trash, is taking on new meaning in the Northeast. An informal poll by Keep America Beautiful of the Midlands shows the Northeast to be in dire need of litter cleanup.
Talks are under way to clean up the area.
There's litter hanging in the trees. During the past several weeks, residents of Richland and Lexington counties were asked to identify the most littered places in the two-county area. The top 10 from each county made the list. The poll was not scientific and probably shows the areas where people are most concerned about litter rather than the most littered areas, said Mary Pat Baldauf, executive director of Keep America Beautiful of the Midlands. This was a gauge of where people wanted to see groups clean up.
