City of Westland to Launch "Operation: Clean Sweep"
Westland, MI (March 26, 2021) - In a coordinated effort between Westland's Public Service and Neighborhood Services departments, Mayor William R. Wild approved the launch of a comprehensive clean up program to address trash which has accumulated and created blight across the City. The program, called "Operation: Clean Sweep" will divide the city up into five sections and employees from both departments will pick up trash along the major and local roads, city parks and any vacant commercial properties.

"As a result of the suspension of the 18th District Courts Work Program due to Covid-19, and recent high winds my office has received a high volume of complaints," commented Mayor William R. Wild. " With unseasonable mild weather, our DPS and Neighborhood Service professionals have some extra capacity before normal spring maintenance begins."

After the initial trash collection phase, the City will follow up its efforts with the first street sweeping of the season.
