CORDELE — City Manager Jean Burnette says, “you can help protect our water supply.”
Anytime there is heavy rain, she explains, trash collects around culverts, catch basins and similar storm drainage structures. The city spends more than $70,000 each year in tax dollars to clean up this trash which often includes foam and plastic cups, plates, milk cartons and soda bottles and cans.
Ms. Burnette is appealing to all civic-minded citizens when she asks for their help in making the community cleaner and more attractive.
“Will you help reduce this trash, litter and debris?” she asks. “You can help. Just place your paper and plastic products, wrappers and other kinds of litter in trash cans and containers. Please tell others to help, too.”
