DMV: Buffalo Aiming to Become Cleanest City

Buffalo is taking a month to try to become one of the country's cleanest cities. Thousands of volunteers will be out in-force Saturday to pick up littler, remove graffiti, plant gardens and carry out other neighborhood beautification projects. This is Buffalo's 18th year participating in the Great American Cleanup. The normally single-day "blitz" event will be expanded throughout the month of May. City residents wanting to participate in the cleanup should contact the city's Call and Resolution Center at 311. Residents outside Buffalo can call 829-2133 and dial extension 341.
