“We are excited to bring this event back. It is a tremendous help to the residents and it helps keep our city cleaned up and neighborhoods well maintained," said Community Development Director Andrea Kerr. "Council has wanted to do this event for the past couple of years, so I’m glad we were able to make it happen this year. It’s definitely long overdue and something that our administration has seen as a necessity. We encourage all residents to take advantage of this event and use it to clean out their houses.”
