The Block

We removed 1,401 pounds of trash from one city block in Juniata. Some blocks may look clean but thats only because we are so use to living with the filth. Lets make a difference this spring clean season.

Clean up alert. Lets get the streets clean by the spring

Anyone interested in donating to Blockoween? We could use candy bags! Hundreds of them for our 3,000 pieces of candy.
