excellent example of how partnerships and working together can make a huge
impact on our community. I cannot
commend our Officers, Waste Management Systems, the City Public Works
Department and Revolution Church enough for their dedication, effort and
passion with this project. Furthermore,
the combined focus and work to clean up these parts of our community will go a
long way toward reducing the potential for criminal activity which greatly
increases the quality of life for the citizens we serve.”
