MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – From filling nearly 100 service requests to removing tens of thousands of pounds of litter and debris, Macon-Bibb County Mayor Lester Miller says he’s proud of the results of the new Clean Streets Matter initiative.
In the first week of the effort, Miller says crews cleaned 16 illegal dumps and removed 87,000 pounds of trash, furniture and appliances. Crews also collected about 100 cubic yards of yard waste and downed trees.
“It’s only been a week and our crews and community have truly stepped up and taken this initiative to heart,” said Mayor Miller.
