Park's spring cleaning starts Monday

April 11, 2008 | HYDE PARK -- Piles of branches and
garden trimmings will soon line the streets of Hyde
Park as part of a continued annual program to beautify
the city.
Spring Cleanup begins the morning of April 14 in the
southwest corner of the city. Dump trucks and backhoes
will visit each neighborhood only once over a period
of four to seven days removing piles of greenwaste as
a service to the community.
"It helps out the citizens so that they don't have
to haul it to the landfill," said Public Works Director
Mike Grunig.
Citizens are urged to pile their waste next to the
street by April 14 regardless of where in the city they
reside, even though those in the northwest corner of
town have approximately three extra days before crews
come through their neighborhoods.
"We go through neighborhoods one time only," stressed
Grunig.
Grunig, who is from Smithfield but married a Hyde
Park native, has been involved with Spring Cleanup for
16 years.
"I think it's a good program," said Grunig. "It's
good for the citizens."
