Senoia residents

have two opportunities next month to help clean up the city.

The city has

decided to participate in the Great American Cleanup and will be accepting

miscellanous household trash from residents April 5 and 12.

The cleanup

runs from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at the city shop at 105 Clark Street.

Residents will

be charged $5 per load, and the cleanup offers residents a chance to get

rid of household items that are too large for regular weekly trash pickup.

In order to

participate, you must be a city resident and bring either a warer bill

or receipt to show proof of residency.

City clerk

Debbie Hogan emphasized the city will not be accepting tires, construction

or wet paint cans. Dry, empty paint cans will be accepted after they are

inspected by city officials.

This is the

first year the city is participating in the program, and city officials

are hopeful it will become a least an annual event. The city leaders are

currently investigating a system to get rid of half-full paint cans and

tires.

"This

is a great chance to clean up the city," said Mayor Dianne Cleveland.
