MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Milwaukee is hosting Project Clean & Green this year. Neighborhoods will be given a date between now and June to put out larger items like furniture and items damaged by flooding to be collected for pickup.
The garbage must be no larger than six cubic yards and it will be collected on your regular scheduled trash day.
It starts with Zone 1, that includes most of the Sherman and Enderis Park area.
"We want to take pride in our neighborhood and I’m so happy that our city and our community has these sort of things to engage in. Earth Day is coming up, lots of community cleanups are going to be taking place. So please engage in a cleanup," said Milwaukee Alderwoman Sharlene Moore.
Things not included in Project Clean & Green include tires and appliances.
