The possibility of cleanup days for the rural areas of Geary County surfaced during discussion by Commissioner Trish Giordano this week. She heard about the idea during a recent meeting of commissioners from area counties that was held in Junction City.

Giordano announced this week that many of the counties have a countywide cleanup for residents outside the city limits. She said, "I think that's something that we can look at possibly doing." Some of the counties have cleanup days in both the spring and fall.

Giordano explained that she knew that there would be a cost but it might help with people dumping items and the beautification of the county.

Commissioners from counties including Morris, Marion, Clay, Saline, Ottawa and Geary attended the meeting.
