Annual City-wide Clean up Day

Each year in early April, the Walker Betterment Club sponsor's a town clean-up day.  This is an opportunity for you to rid yourself of old appliances, TV's, and other items you would normally take to the landfill.  The Walker Betterment Club subsidizes the costs associated with the removal of these items.  This is a great opportunity to remove these items from your home at a reduced cost.
