Successful Clean-up Day!

Clean Up Day Collage

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Community Clean Up/Recycling & Disposal Drop-off. The event was a huge success due to the hard work of all of our volunteers and city workers. Spring cleaning is always a great way to begin the warm weather season and get ready for a fantastic summer in Chicago Heights!
