We've got another New England winter on the way, and the bitter cold we have around here can cause our heating systems to fail at the most inopportune moments. The city of Boston has a program to make sure seniors living in the Hub are able to either get their system tuned up before the chill hits, or get it replaced completely, oftentimes without cost. Richard O'Brien from the Boston Home Center joins Nichole with the details. Starting next month, Massachusetts residents won't be able to throw away mattresses and other big textiles in the trash. John Fischer, Branch Chief for Commercial Waste Reduction and Waste Planning at the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, explains the new rule and the reasoning behind it. Throughout October, residents of Boston will join City Councilors, alternative transportation advocates, and other groups on hikes through the city's 25-mile-long "Walking City Trail". Max Hunter, a volunteer with Mothers Out Front Boston, talks about their group's efforts, and why they're teaming up to help people discover Boston's hidden green spaces.
