ORLEANS – The Orleans Town Council has set April 1-6 as the annual “Spring Town-Wide Clean Sweep Week,” encouraging all residents to participate in the clean-up efforts.
Town crews will be picking up large discarded items free of charge that week. Discard items should be placed curbside for easy pickup.
In addition, a large dumpster will also be set up at the Orleans Town Garage for resident use that week as well. Residents are welcome and encouraged to bring any unwanted or junk-type items they want to dispose of and place them in the dumpster.
The Orleans Chamber of Commerce and Dogwood Festival Committee are also participating in this special community event and asking everyone’s help to make our hometown beautiful by taking the time to clean up, spruce up, fix up, and paint up all around town that week in preparation for Dogwood ’54 in late April. Youth groups, service groups, business people, families, and churches are urged to help clean the town.
