Residents in Independence are getting ready for Love Independence Day this Saturday.
Starting today, the City Sanitation Yard at 21st and Maple is open every day through Saturday from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. for drop-off of bulky items. In addition, the City Brush Yard on CR 4100 is open from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. as well for your leaves and brush. Chamber of Commerce Director Lisa Wilson says there are also a wide variety of projects available for volunteers, and that contributions to the community don't have to be anything big.
Wilson says some of the ready-to-go projects range from work at the zoo to painting fire hydrants. Those interested in volunteering don't need any supplies, they just need to show up. Those interested in how they can help can call the Independence Chamber of Commerce at 620-331-1890.
