On Saturday, April 30 from 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. over 200 volunteers will work to help citizens remove trash, garbage, hazardous household waste, and useable donations from residences, 30 miles of streets, and other public areas of the City. Roger H. Nelson, chairman of Colleyville Proud says, “This year’s Clean Sweep will have the resources and volunteers to handle all aspects of a thorough clean-up campaign. With the participation of IESI, Goodwill Industries, and Colleyville City employees, we will offer solutions to everyone’s cleaning and disposal needs.”
