Some people call it Spring Cleaning, but the City of Minden is doing things differently. It’s time for Fall Clean up Minden campaign, scheduled for November 29 through December 4.
Mayor Terry Gardner has asked civic groups and churches to pick up all major roads leading to Minden and Walmart to sponsor this event with trash bags for each group.
“This is just a litter campaign, not white goods, tires paint, etc.,” Gardner said. “City employees will be cleaning sidewalks and performing heavy weed eating in ditches and bridges. This will be an abbreviated campaign which will only focus on picking up litter on the main thorough fares leading into the city.”
