San Francisco Public Works Annual Report - Fiscal Year 2017-18 | Page 97

San Francisco is a city that loves to celebrate, and we’re known for large civic events that showcase our
diversity and our penchant for fun. But big gatherings also mean big messes left behind by revelers that need
to be cleaned up, and we’ve got it down with a well-choreographed operation that uses a combination of
manual labor and machines to get the job done. Our crews cleaned up 14,800 pounds of debris in seven hours
after the Chinese New Year Parade. At the Bay to Breakers footrace event, our street cleaning crews picked
up 14,940 pounds of litter left behind by the runners and onlookers in five hours. At the 48th-annual Pride
Parade, we cleaned up more than 49,038 pounds of trash along the parade route and around the festival area.
