Environmentally Safe Weed Removal in Gardner MA
Gardner City Hall has announced that the Department of Public Works “will be working to remove the weeds from the sidewalks in areas of the Downtown beginning this week. To be environmentally friendly and safe to our pets, the solution used is a mixture of water, dish soap, and vinegar. As a result, areas treated may smell like vinegar for a brief period while the solution settles. This should fade shortly after applied.” Weed removal is week of August 12, 2024.
