“Keep Senoia Beautiful Day” Planned for April 26, 2008

In conjunction with “Keep America Beautiful” the City of Senoia is partnering with residents, Dependable Waste and other local businesses to clean up, beautify and improve the neighborhoods of Senoia, creating a safer and more livable community. City residents can bring household waste and debris to the corner of Howard Road and Andrews Parkway between the hours of 8:30AM to 4PM. Volunteers for clean up crews are meeting at the Senoia Coffee Company at 8:00 AM. The City appreciates the generosity of the Tencate/Southern Mills for the use of the dumpster location.
