In August, the City of Newton will begin a new program to keep roadsides clear of old furniture and other junk, a program approved by the Newton City Commission earlier this year.
Call it a last chance for property owners to clean up the curb, or to call for a bulky item pickup. Call it a sticker program. No matter what it is called, the city will begin notifying property owners of the need to either remove items left at the curb or call for a bulky item pickup.
It has always been a violation of City Code to leave old furniture or junk at the curb.
