Description
Community Clean Team
In partnership with the Department of Public Works, Clean City coordinates citywide Community Clean Team events. The Community Clean Team dedicates one month to each San Francisco supervisorial district, providing a variety of street cleaning and neighborhood beautification services. Extensive outreach to community organizations, merchant associations, civic groups, schools, businesses, non-profits, service organizations, city departments, and the general public is conducted around these events and work projects are developed in response to information gathered throughout each community. During the designated month of cleanups, volunteers come out on two or three Saturdays to assist with sweeping, graffiti removal, weeding, planting in neighborhood parks, and creating litter free zones around local schools. Once a month, these events also include the Norcal Waste Systems, Inc. Gigantic 3 Program. Large recycling, compost, and trash dumpsters are placed in each district for residents to drop off their large items free of charge. The Community Clean Team has developed into an extensive partnership that includes the Recreation and Park Department, Norcal Waste Systems, Inc., the Pretrial Diversion Project, the Department of the Environment, the Mayor?s Office of Neighborhood Services, SBC, Walgreens, Nordstrom, Goodwill Industries and others.
