Community Clean Team
Citywide
Community Clean Team is Public Works’ largest and longest-running volunteer program. Since its inception in 2000, tens of
thousands of volunteers from across the City have joined forces, giving Public Works a helping hand in planting trees, landscaping
medians, eradicating graffiti, picking up litter and beautifying San Francisco’s public spaces, gardens and parks.
Each month, from January through November, the program rotates through each supervisorial district with dedicated support
from the mayor, members of the Board of Supervisors, partners from other City agencies and nonprofit organizations and help
from community leaders who join our quest to keep the City safe, clean and beautiful.
Over the years, Community Clean Team has logged more than 176,000 volunteer hours, added more than 35,000 plants to public
spaces, painted over more than 4 million square feet of graffiti and collected nearly 5,000 bags of litter from our neighborhoods.
This year was a productive and successful one for Community Clean Team – we flexed our civic pride with more than
2,500 volunteers who demonstrated just how much they love our city.
