About our Programs
Street Sweeping
Routine mechanical sweeping of City of Fresno residential streets are swept once per month during the day. Major streets are swept once per week during the evenings and weekends. The Downtown area is swept three times per week at nights and weekends. Our Street Sweeping program also converts to leaf sweeping during the months of November and December to help clear our gutters for better drainage during the rainy season and to help protect our water supply from contaminants.
Litter Control
The routine manual removal of trash and debris in main thoroughfares and local freeways. Litter control assists the Street Sweeping program when the mechanical sweepers cannot negotiate a turn or corner by helping to clean that particular area. Litter control provides services for downtown events and parades. Litter control partners with Hope Now for Youth to provide experience and promote good working habits for at risk youth. Litter control also leverages their resources by working with Community Service Workers to enhance the workforce.
Operation Clean Up
Operation Clean Up, one of the most popular and necessary operations in the City of Fresno, provides a way for residents to dispose of bulky items that do not normally fit into their regular garbage pick up. Operation Clean Up disposes trash and debris, green waste, electronic waste, and old appliances/ furniture in accordance of all rules and regulations of the State of California and the Federal Government.
