Clean-Up Week will be April 21st - 25th, 2008. Clean-Up Week
is co-sponsored by the Athens Area Chamber of Commerce, Keep
McMinn Beautiful, the City of Athens and by McMinn County.
The Clean-Up Week event helps promote beautification
in our area. We will provide our residential neighbors the
opportunity to clean up and discard unwanted items and yard
debris. Place your unwanted items curbside and the Public
Works Department will pick them up! This opportunity is provided
in addition to normal garbage pickup. There is no specific
schedule for a given street, but all streets will be covered
at least once during the week. The following are some guidelines
to follow:
