The cleanup will run from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and include several targeted areas in the city. Businesses, churches, schools and other organizations are encouraged to bring a group of people to help.

Once again, several open top dumpsters will be placed in those targeted areas throughout the city.
