May­or Ronald Mor­rell Jr.’s City­wide Cleanup, part of the Clean City 2.0 ini­tia­tive, brought res­i­dents, vol­un­teers, spon­sors, and City crews togeth­er through­out 2026 with one goal: a clean­er, stronger Mar­i­on we can all be proud to call home.

Through­out the six cleanup dates, 40-yard dump­sters were avail­able to serve the entire com­mu­ni­ty, along with spe­cial curb­side pick­up days in each of Marion’s six districts. 

And Mar­i­on showed up! 

📊 2026 CLEANUP IMPACT:

- April 18: 20 dump­sters filled — 141 drop-offs

- May 16: 18 dump­sters filled — 126 drop-offs

- June 13: 19 dump­sters filled — 133 drop-offs

- July 11: 11 dump­sters filled — 113 drop-offs

- August 8: 18 dump­sters filled — 139 drop-offs

- Sep­tem­ber 12: 18 dump­sters filled — 172 drop-offs

♻️ TOTAL IMPACT:

That’s 104 dump­sters filled and 824 drop-offs through­out the 2026 cleanup season! 

A huge THANK YOU to every­one who loaded a truck, cleaned a yard, hauled unwant­ed items, vol­un­teered, worked a cleanup site, or sim­ply did their part to make Mar­i­on shine.

Every effort… big or small… made a difference. 

We also want to rec­og­nize the spon­sors and com­mu­ni­ty part­ners who helped make this year pos­si­ble: Trust­ed Facil­i­ty Solu­tions, Lowe’s, Mar­tinez Lawn Care, Jour­ney Square, Shrout’s Tow­ing, Cen­tral Mid­west Car­pen­ters, and Grant Coun­ty Res­cue Mission. 

We great­ly appre­ci­ate your part­ner­ship and com­mit­ment to our community!

Clean City 2.0 is about more than remov­ing unwant­ed items; it’s about com­mu­ni­ty pride, work­ing togeth­er, and invest­ing in the city we call home.

Mar­i­on, THANK YOU for mak­ing an IMPACT in 2026! 💙

Wednes­day, Sep­tem­ber 23rd, 2026 — Are you a Mar­i­on home­own­er with a leak­ing roof, HVAC unit on the fritz, or elec­tri­cal sys­tem that needs upgrad­ed? Does your show­er or toi­let need to be mod­i­fied for wheel­chair access? Have you delayed address­ing impor­tant home repairs because it is too expen­sive or too dif­fi­cult to find con­trac­tors? Do you wor­ry that some­thing cat­a­stroph­ic will hap­pen to your house if you do not address these home repairs? Do you care for some­one with severe home repair needs? Or do you your­self have a sto­ry to tell about blight in your neigh­bor­hood, the chal­lenges of home­own­er­ship main­te­nance, or the haz­ards of liv­ing in a house in disrepair? 

For the past two years, the City of Mar­i­on has run the Mar­i­on Home Repair Assis­tance Pro­gram, serv­ing around 20 home­own­ers annu­al­ly with minor home repairs – address­ing leak­ing roofs, bro­ken win­dows, and bro­ken gut­ters. To con­tin­ue assist­ing home­own­ers with minor repairs as well as expand­ing assis­tance to home­own­ers to cov­er major repairs (roof and HVAC replace­ment, elec­tri­cal upgrades, and inte­ri­or acces­si­bil­i­ty mod­i­fi­ca­tions), the City of Mar­i­on is seek­ing $350,000 in fund­ing from the Office of Com­mu­ni­ty and Rur­al Affairs. If suc­cess­ful, this fund­ing will expand the exist­ing pro­gram and allow the city to triple its impact on Mar­i­on homeowners. 

The City of Mar­i­on wants to hear your sto­ry. In Octo­ber, the City will host a Com­mu­ni­ty Feed­back Ses­sion to dis­cuss the Mar­i­on Home Repair Assis­tance Pro­gram: its his­to­ry, its present, the need for home repair assis­tance, and the tes­ti­mo­ni­als of Mar­i­on home­own­ers and com­mu­ni­ty members. 

Com­mu­ni­ty Feed­back Session 
Wednes­day, Octo­ber 21st, 5:30pm‑7:30pm
Mar­i­on City Hall, 301 S Bran­son St, First Floor Coun­cil Chambers

This Com­mu­ni­ty Feed­back Ses­sion will include an open Q&A and the oppor­tu­ni­ty to share tes­ti­mo­ni­als. We want to hear from home­own­ers, those who care for home­own­ers, and those with con­cern for the health and safe­ty of neigh­bor­hoods and the com­mu­ni­ty hous­ing stock. If you are will­ing to attend the event and even share your tes­ti­mo­ni­al, sign up for pro­gram alerts by fill­ing out this form here: https://forms.gle/P2r8BJV1Z9kA1BU37.
