The Yorkton Business Improvement District has renewed what is now a six-year commitment towards keeping the downtown business area free of refuse.
Thursday YBID presented a $10,000 donation to SIGN toward the Clean Sweep Program.
Through the program a crew of six workers will be on the streets at least three hours a day, Monday through Friday picking up garbage starting July 6.
The area covers ranges from the Painted Hand Casino, down Broadway Street to Highway #9, as well as side streets and along Smith Street and south along Argyle, where businesses are located and there are sidewalks.
In addition to Thursday’s presentation YBID also funded the manufacture of two new carts to replace ones that were in disrepair after five years of service.
The new carts were manufactured locally by Peebles Machine & Welding Ltd.
