Street Litter Removal

What This Service Involves

Accumulated litter along curb lines and gutters degrades neighborhood appearance and washes into storm drains during Western Washington's frequent rains. Our crews run scheduled routes on foot and by vehicle to clear debris from sidewalks, planting strips, and travel lanes. Collected material is sorted for recycling where possible before disposal. Route completion is tracked so your public works staff can verify coverage and adjust frequency by district.

Benefits

Scheduled route coverage with verifiable completion tracking; interception of litter before it reaches storm drains; recycling separation to reduce landfill tonnage; flexible frequency by district or corridor; cleaner corridors that support economic and civic goals
