Boston's snow piles filled with trash

BOSTON -- Snow piles from the record-setting New England winter are lingering in the Boston area, even as the weather turns summer-like.

A 75-foot-high snow mound in Boston's Seaport District has been reduced to a three-story pile of dirt and trash -- including bicycles, traffic cones and even half a $5 bill -- that remains encrusted in solid ice.

Department of Public Works commissioner Michael Dennehy told The Boston Globe the vile pile is "a science experiment waiting to happen."
