Crews clear brush, remove trash from properties on Leader and Silver streets in Marion

Crews with Marion’s Sanitation Department, along with a few community volunteers, focused on two westside neighborhood homes for a cleanup project last week.

Homes on Leader and Silver streets had trash and debris removed from properties, as well as overgrowth of vegetation.

Crews worked for about six hours each day Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 25 and 26.

Some of the debris qualified for the recycling bin.

“This cleanup project was all part of his Love Your City initiative approved by city council," said Mayor Bill Collins stated.

There are plans for more cleanup projects such as this around the city.

“Our mission is to do what we can do to make Marion an attractive place to work and live," Collins said.

Individuals in need of trash and debris pick-up should call the City Sanitation Department at 740-382-1479.
