A northeast Queens lawmaker recently secured $280,000 to keep local streets clean for his constituents.

On Friday, Aug. 20, Councilman Paul Vallone announced that these funds would go toward additional cleanup services from the city’s Department of Sanitation (DSNY) and Wildcat Service Corporation, which provides jobs for unemployed individuals with criminal convictions. This year’s funding for cleanup services is up $120,000 from the last fiscal year.
