Dumont businesses, volunteers pitch in for city-wide cleanup

Dumont residents and businesses recently teamed up to clean up the city.

Earlier this month, the City of Dumont conducted a city-wide cleanup to allow people to dispose of waste that had accumulated both inside and outside of their homes.

Shelly Zimmerman, who helped organize the event, said the response to the cleanup was overwhelming, both from the standpoint of those who put trash out and those who showed up to help clean up.

“Friday (June 12), I think there were between 14 and 16 wagon loads,” she said.
