City employee Mike O’Hara uses a backhoe to remove leaves from a trailer. The leaves were brought to the City Maintenance Barn by Jimmy Herrera as a part of the City’s Quarterly Clean up event. The City of Mount Vernon’s First Quarter Clean-up continues through Saturday, Jan. 14. For details on items accepted at the city barn, see the January 12 edition of the Mount Vernon Optic-Herald.
