The intensive clean-up and collection work will take place on four consecutive Saturdays, April 25, May 2, May 9 and May 16. Dates for specific neighborhoods were printed in notices mailed last month to all City households. Often, Streets, Refuse and Forestry trucks will make more than one pass through a neighborhood. Residents of each area are urged to join their neighbors to clean the alleys, sweep the gutters and pick up litter from vacant lots, notes Mary Lou Green , director of Operation Brightside. Brightside also provides, free of charge, trash bags, flowers for planting on public property and the loan of brooms, rakes, shovels, etc.
Captains recruit their neighbors, order the tools and flowers and get the trash bags.
