City of Alliance Announces Clean-up Day

The City of Alliance is excited to announce a city-wide Clean-Up Day on June 29, from 7 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. This event, in partnership with various volunteer organizations, aims to help residents dispose of unwanted items responsibly and free of charge. Join us in making Alliance cleaner and more beautiful for everyone to enjoy.
