There isn’t a day on the PiPlover beat that we don’t see members of Gloucester’s DPW crew working hard to keep Good Harbor Beach beautiful and beautifully functioning. The coronavirus pandemic is making their tasks doubly challenging, yet they always do a top-notch professional job.

I’d also like to point out that when we see photos of our parks and beaches that have been left trashed with garbage, the snapshots are almost always taken early, early in the morning before the DPW crew begins working. Our beaches and parks are always clean by the the time the vast majority wakens and visits. Everyday there is a pile of trash left by residents and nonresidents alike at the entrance to GHB; by around 7am it is gone and most never see it.
