City cleanup day seeking helpers

4/7/2005

Mayor Jack Ford has issued a call for volunteers to join in a citywide cleanup set for April 16.

Dubbed the "Rally in the Alleys," the event will start at 9 a.m. and end at 1 p.m.

A thank-you celebration will follow at 1:30 p.m. at the Erie Street Market.

Information on the location of cleanup sites is available by calling 419-936-2020. The city will provide trucks, trash bags, and work gloves. In addition, the city will open the Hoffman Road Landfill for free to groups that want to dispose of trash on the cleanup day.

Other cleanups planned for this year are "Tired of Tires" on June 11, and "Fall Trash Bash" on Sept. 17.
