The City is putting on its first Clean & Green week. We're pretty excited about the event. For the first time in years, the City is offering Sterling residents the chance to dispose of large, non-hazardous junk items. This project is funded largely through the City's Solid Waste fund which is why we're limited to servicing Sterling residents.
Additionally, we're putting together a volunteer effort to do some cleanup projects around the City. We have several volunteers lined up to cleanup the downtown and parks in the City. We've also received some generous donations to help provide lunches and drinks to volunteers. We also received some assistance in sprucing up the entry signs on IL 40 and Freeport Road.
It's the first year, so we're managing expectations and hoping to learn a few things for future events. Hopefully everyone can be patient and help us make this a smooth running event that we can continue. Thanks for everyone's cooperation, particularly the Public Works employees who are going above and beyond with this project!
