Mayor's Neighborhood Cleanup Program

The Mayor's Neighborhood Cleanup Program — a concentrated sweep through a selected neighborhood each month focusing on cleaning up litter and removing abandoned vehicles.

Citizens are encouraged to participate in the Mayor's Neigbhborhood Cleanup, which is organized by Sanitation Services & Fleet Management and includes volunteers from Clean & Green.

Sanitation Services employees developed the program after residents and City Council members expressed a need for a strike unit to clean neighborhoods. Two weeks prior to the clean up day, informational postcards will be mailed to residents in the clean up area. The Department's Code Enforcement activity conducts a sweep of the area and identifies and addresses any code violations. Enforcement Officers will placard any abandoned vehicles and if not removed within 10 days, the vehicles are towed. When cleaning day arrives, Sanitation Services employees will collect material placed curbside while volunteers from Clean & Green will help residents clean and remove debris from private property.
