Wayland Town Crier 5/3/17: Coming together to clean up Wayland. Over 80 volunteers set out along Wayland roads and fields on Saturday, April 15, for the annual Wayland Cleans Up event. Just a year ago, volunteers braving the rain while cleaning up noted there is too much plastic littering our town. On April 3, voters seconded that. They voted in support of two bylaws, one that eliminates thin film single-use plastic checkout bags from stores and restaurants, and the other that eliminates the use of polystyrene for food and beverage containers. “It didn’t feel right, after that, to not do a Clean Up,” said Kaat Vander Straeten of Transition Wayland.
