Attention Zone 5, Districts 12&14 are coming up starting May 18!
DPW Milwaukee PROJECT CLEAN & GREEN is a city-wide program designed to foster neighborhood pride and ownership through coordinated clean up
On your Project Clean and Green day, also your collection day, residents should place their unwanted items at their regular garbage collection point – either the curb or alley line.
For curb pick-up, please ensure that all items are kept out of the street and instead placed along the area between the sidewalk and curb, on the lawn edge if there is no sidewalk, or at the end of the driveway. For alley collection, place items at the alley line.
~~~~~~
¡Atención, Zona 2, Distritos 12 y 14 A partir del 18 de Mayo, se acerca la limpieza comunitaria.
El programa PROYECTO LIMPIO Y VERDE del Departamento de Obras Públicas de Milwaukee es una iniciativa municipal diseñada para fomentar el orgullo y la participación vecinal mediante la limpieza coordinada.
El día del Proyecto LIMPIO y VERDE, que también es el día de la recolección, los residentes deben colocar sus artículos no deseados en su punto habitual de recolección de basura: en la acera o en el límite del callejón.
Para la recolección en la acera, asegúrese de que todos los artículos no estén en la calle y se coloquen en el área entre la acera y el bordillo, en el borde del césped si no hay acera, o al final de la entrada de vehículos. Para la recolección en el callejón, coloque los artículos en el límite del callejón.
