Monroe to Participate in the Great American Clean Up

In honor of Earth Day and Georgia Cities Week, the City of Monroe is participating in the Great American Clean Up from April 22 – 26.

“There will be no charge for dumping trash at the Cherry Hill transfer station,” Sadie Krawczyk, the new Main Street program director for Monroe said at last week’s called council meeting. “Let’s clean up and let’s be good neighbors and showcase the beauty of Monroe.”

The Public Works Transfer Station is located at 213 Cherry Hill Road, Monroe. Krawczyk asked that people help neighbors who may not be able to clean up themselves. She also suggested that church groups, youth groups, Scouts troops etc. use the occasion for some community service projects and help in the effort.

“We are promoting it in the neighborhood, individuals or the neighborhood can help in the effort,” she said.

Here are some suggestions from the website on how to participate.

• Discard or move yard items to outdoor storage

• Take old equipment/mattresses to transfer station

• Clean out storage areas of large trash items

• Collect yard waste for disposal

• Pick-up trash on your street

• Offer to help a neighbor clean up their property
