DeKalb County Commissioner Larry Johnson will host weekly “community clean-ups” every Saturday through April.
And you’re invited.
“Taking care of the community is a daily job that all constituents can participate in, whether it’s cleaning up your home or helping clean up roads and sidewalks,” Johnson said in a news release. “Everyone should have a helping hand in community clean-ups to make sure that we live in a place we are all proud to call home.”
