It has a name, but Mayor Sylvester Turner didn't drop any hints about what's involved with 'One Clean Houston,' as more neighbors speak out on nuisance dumping grounds.
As Houston reaches up to 400 known illegal dumping sites in the city, Mayor Sylvester Turner is revealing his "One Clean Houston" initiative.Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said Friday afternoon that a comprehensive plan to curtail illegal dumping in the city should be announced by the end of the month.Details on what that plan entails weren't disclosed.
Despite efforts to combat the issue, which already includes cameras and increased initiatives by law enforcement, the mayor described some of the challenges they face when it comes to cleaning up these sites. One woman, who hopes to see relief soon, lives near the 7900 block of St. Louis Street in northeast Houston.
She said the problem started when the church burnt down, and that the city hasn't cleaned the trash due to questions over who owned the property, as well as the fact that it's not located near a school or other high-priority landmark.
