Once again the City of Utica participated in the Keep America Beautiful – Great American Cleanup.
In the past few days over 200 volunteers were out on the streets of Utica sprucing up the City. They collected 400 bags of trash and litter as well as truckloads of green waste. Volunteer efforts such as this are what make Utica A great place to live, work and raise a family.
Thank you for your help and dedication to the City of Utica!

These are just a few of the people who are actively involved in making a difference in community.
If you couldn’t participate in a cleanup on any of these dates the City of Utica will work with you on another date.
We need to coordinate all cleanups taking place in the City of Utica so we can make sure everything you collect is picked up by DPW.
