About Project Clean & Green

Dig deeper:

Project Clean & Green will run through June 1, with sanitation crews focusing on one zone each week. On Monday, the initiative kicks off in Zone One – covering Aldermanic Districts 6, 7 and 15. 

Each eligible property may dispose of up to six cubic yards of material, all at no cost to residents. 

A news release says residents can place unwanted items like furniture, mattresses, and household items at their regular collection point at the curb or in the alley.
