Operation Clean Sweep
Operation Clean Sweep
Implemented by Mayor Dickens in February 2022, Operation Clean Sweep (OCS) is a proactive City of Atlanta campaign designed to address citywide beautification.
Program Goal
The objective of Operation Clean Sweep is to create a consistent, attractive, and safe environment throughout the city by regularly maintaining City-owned assets.
Strategy
- Ensure City services such as bulk trash pick-up, street sweeping, litter removal, nuisance abatements, and mowing operations are coordinated in the most timely, strategic, and effective manner
- Mowing and litter removal services will be provided on arterial roads at least 2x per month and 1x per month on collector streets
- Strategic use of community and business partnerships to foster participation and buy-in of beautification efforts
- Identify methods to effectively coordinate the efforts of the Keep Atlanta Beautiful Commission, Solid Waste Education and Enforcement Team (SWEET), DPW Special Operations staff, COA Solicitor’s Office, and contracted service providers
- Conduct anti-litter education workshops
Target Areas
Major thoroughfares, collector streets, and City-owned properties are the immediate priority
