Blown away: Tame your construction debris
|
With our high winds recently, there is an incredible amount of construction-site debris and trash blowing around the F-M metro community.
Please make every effort to keep your work-site debris under control so that it does not spread throughout the new developments and neighborhoods, giving our industry a black eye.
