Dell Technologies Employees Help Keep Ashland Beautiful

So many people in town help make Ashland beautiful in so many ways! This shout out goes to Dell Technologies out of Hopkinton! Dell started a cleanup day in Hopkinton along Route 135 in 2015 and partnered with Keep Massachusetts Beautiful. The program quickly grew and four years ago the clean up efforts extended into Ashland.

 Two weeks prior to the Boston Marathon, Dell employee scleanup along the marathon route to ensure a clean space for one of our communities biggest events. 84 Dell employees spent a day cleaning trash and items dumped 10-15 ft. off both sides of the road from Hopkinton to the Framingham line. This year they collected 104 thirty gallon trash bags of litter and other large items such as tires, signs, a bikes and more. Despite the fact that there was enough trash to fill even one bag the counts were down year over year which is a good sign that people are being more mindful to keep our earth clean. 

Here are the breakdowns of roadway where they tracked how much was recovered: 

Ashland

Section 4 TJs Food & Spirits to Ashland Middle School - 13 bags

Section 5 Ashland Middle School to Fitzy’s Car Wash - 20 bags

Section 6 Fitzy’s Car Wash to Sri Lakshmi Temple - 16 bags

Hopkinton

Section 1 Starbucks to Hopkinton Lumber - 10 bags

Section 2 Marathon Starting Line to Legacy Farms Drive - 22 bags

Section 3 Legacy Farms Drive to TJs Food & Spirits (Ashland line)- 23 bags

They collected debris across both sides of 6.5 miles of roadway with 84 people volunteering their day to make Ashland look good! We are very grateful to the team at Dell Technologies for the work that they do to keep our community clean and pretty!
