The city will begin its annual spring cleanup of regional streets, sidewalks, bridges and underpasses tonight. For the first time ever, sand removed from the streets will be recycled and cleaned to be used again. It will be stored at the Brady Road Landfill until a new sand recycling facility is operational, likely late this year or early next year.
The annual cleanup is expected to take four to five weeks and cost $5 million.
