Neighborhood Clean-Up Days

Funded by the individual aldermen the Aldermen’s Office organizes designated neighborhood clean-up events each year.

Always held on Saturday for the convenience of the residents, these events are operated in conjunction with Groot, the City's Waste Hauling Contractor. These clean-up days provide a valuable service and a way to complement the City's outstanding solid waste program.
