Cleaning Occupy Denver

The city of Denver has announced that it will continuously be cleaning the Occupy Denver site. After scabies, a contagious parasitic disease, was discovered amongst the Occupy members, public health concerns have been forced into the forefront.

Denver Public Works says "to keep the area and its inhabitants free of potential health and safety hazards, it is critical to have an ongoing 'clean sweep' of the area."

Any items left behind will be kept at the Denver Police Department's property bureau for thirty days. After that time they will be destroyed. If an item could pose any sanitary, health, or safety hazard it will be destroyed immediately.
