Clean it up!
It's time to spruce our community up! Spring Cleanup is around the
corner!
Starting April 1 3, the Warm Springs Cleanup Committee w ill gladly pick
up your old appliances and haul them off for recycling. To take advantage
of this free service, call Captain Moody at 553-32503251.
The committee asks for your cooperation. Please drag your appliances to
the curb. These things get heavy after a while.
On April 20, all dead cars will be hauled off. If you would like us to take
your jalopy off your hands, you need to come in to Housing and sign a
waiver. A wise thing to do, as well, is to somehow tag the car you want us
to haul away.
The committee will also send a crew out to judge the most improved
homcsites. So crank up your lawnmowers. broadcast some grass seed, and
let's all be proud of who we are and where we live.
