It could be worse, Bay State. And as far as New England as a whole goes we actually did pretty, pretty good.

Every year LawnStarter comes out with their list of the Dirtiest Cities in the Country. They compare over 150 U.S. cities across four categories including pollution, living conditions, infrastructure, and consumer satisfaction to tabulate their Oscar the Grouch list.

This year Massachusetts has 3 entries on the list while all of New England only has 5 combined. Not too shabby!

Alright, if you have a hankerin’ to see some rats and trash on the ground you’re in luck because here come the Dirtiest Cities! We’ll start with the Top 10 in the U.S. then I’ll get local and give you the 5 Dirtiest Cities in New England.

BTW even though we’re relatively clean according to this list people are still moving out of Massachusetts LIKE MAD! For more on that CLICK HERE!

    Bridgeport, CT

    Bridgeport was named THE Dirtiest City in New England and the 37th Dirtiest City in the country. I’ve been to Bridgeport once in my life. I was in middle school and I was there to play in a regional basketball tournament. I saw 3 nasty things on the ground in a very public area so close to each other that I almost stepped on them. Without saying what the 3 things were, 2 of them could have given me various diseases and the third scurried away! Go Bridgeport!!
