The Residential Betterment Section of CDA has tools and supplies available to organized groups for cleanup and beautification projects. A representative of the organization must pick up and return the tools and, of course, the group is responsible for replacing any missing or damaged tool.
To be borrowed are: street brooms, rakes, shovels, weed whips, power mowers, weed eaters, weed mowers, and chain saws.
Also available are such non-returnable supplies as: non-selective weed killer, plastic trash bags, grass seed (Ky-31 Fescue), used and new railroad ties, sod, top soil, wood chips and gravel.
The tools and supplies must be applied for at the Beautification Office at 111 N. Union (in Forest Park). The telephone number is 367-1500.
