Starting in August, the city of Trenton will initiate its City Wide Cleanup. The Cleanup will be done by ward on Saturdays; starting with the South Ward on Aug. 3, the North Ward on Aug. 10, the East Ward on Aug. 17, and the West Ward on Aug. 24. Removal will consist of yard waste and furniture. Please DO NOT leave construction debris, home renovation debris, chemicals, televisions, electronic devices, or unbundled wood/branches over 4ft long. Residents should place items on the curb by 7:00 a.m.
“This is an exciting venture, which we hope to continue as we beautify our Capital City.” Mayor Reed Gusciora said. “Next year we will also resume the Liter March we have had in past years. We must continue to work together to keep Trenton clean and vibrant!”
“Thank you Mayor Gusciora and to your administration for continuing the efforts of cleaning up our streets in the City of Trenton,” City Council President Crystal Feliciano said. “This is a collective effort from the City of Trenton, we are thankful to the Mayor for allowing this to happen and having an open door and open ear so the needs and concerns of the people can be bought to the forefront.”
“This is something we’ve done for many years, but COVID stopped it,” Department of Public Works Director Wahab Onitiri said. ” We are going to be collecting everything as long as it is yard waste and furniture. Clean out your homes and put it outside so we may take care of it.”
“There has to be a change in the mindset of the people in our city. They also need to buy into this need to have a clean city.” Trenton resident Ivey Avery said. “It’s more than just a bulk clean up, it’s more than a litter pick up day, we must get our citizens more involved so they understand the necessity of a clean environment for all us.
