The city’s Clean Sweep initiative is done, but the work continues on citywide clean-up efforts.
In fact, this month’s Biloxi newsletter, BNews, offers a refresher course for residents: what will be picked up, when it will be picked up, and how residents can make help it happen. Additionally there’s a reminder on policies involving trash near vacant lots and missed pickups.
The report, with easy-to-read graphics, is part of a record-breaking 32-page city newsletter, which also contains information on tree planting and the best types of trees to plant; an overview of development citywide; an update on the city’s efforts to honor Apollo 13 astronaut and native son Fred Haise; and how Biloxi’s FY ’21 record gaming taxes were divvied up statewide and locally.
BNews, which the U.S. Postal Service delivers to all Biloxi residents and businesses by the first of each month, also includes updates from Keesler Air Force Base and the Biloxi VA, as well as a Veterans Day nod that includes a look at Biloxi military installations through the years, what veteran’s parade organizers are reading, and a look back at a 1978 Veterans Day in Biloxi, when Richard M. Nixon came to town.
“This is a really good issue with a lot of really good content,” Biloxi CAO Mike Leonard said. “We hope that everyone will take advantage of the relevant information, especially the guidance on trash pickup.”
