The Huntington City Council has said July 1 will begin the
cleanup of the Huntington. The ordinance, called the “junk” ordinance, will
require residents to remove indoor furniture from outside.
Citizens who do not comply with the ordinance face fines up
to $500 or possible jail time.
Mayor Steve Williams
said the ordinance is the first of many in efforts to improve and clean up the
city. Beginning April 3, additional trash bins will be placed in neighborhoods
to help citizens comply.
Citizens can also contact the Mayor’s office for assistance
with garbage removal.
The ordinance was passed with a unanimous 8-0 vote.
The meeting closed by providing for Huntington’s youth. City
council members approved the addition of a skate park to the Harris Riverfront
Park, as well as a “Second Chance” prom geared toward giving to those with special
needs, to take place at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena on Friday.
