The procedure for the program is to be as follows: The requesting party must complete the permit application form and pay for the sign (optional) prior to actually picking up litter. The Pubfic Works Department provides safety vests and trash bags to the requesting party and picks up the bags at the arranged time. The program will begin on June 1 , 1994.
