FRAMINGHAM — As far as members of Keep Framingham Beautiful are concerned, their city doesn't deserve to look like a missed shot at a waste basket. With co-founder Debra Caplan and others, Crocci started a movement in April 2020 called “Clean Up Framingham” to raise awareness of litter in the city. After a year of daily cleaning, the group in April participated in “The Great Framingham Cleanup,” where it accepted donations for T-shirts, grabbers and gloves. The added traction enabled the group to rebrand itself to “Keep Framingham Beautiful,” and become a chapter of the larger “Keep Massachusetts Beautiful,” according to Crocci. Keep Framingham Beautiful members say passersby often honk or shout "Thank you!"
