On Thursday, Jan. 26 the Barnstable Police Department, the Town of Barnstable Structures and Grounds Department, along with the Barnstable County Sheriff's Office all took part in joint effort clean up of Janice Lane and Marry Dunn Road in Barnstable.

The wooded area near Janice Lane and Dumont Avenue had a large amount of household and construction debris illegally dumped. It took two truck loads to remove the debris from this area.

Mary Dunn Road also had an area where someone had been disposing of houshold and construction debris. Both locations had mattresses removed, parts of vehicles, TV's, and even a toilet bowl.

All these items were removed and the areas were cleaned. It is our hope that anyone who has information on illegal dumping or whom witnesses illegal dumping notify the Barnstable Police so we can take immediate action to help keep Barnstable clean and beautiful.
