Street Cleaning

The City’s Street Cleaning Section aims to:

• Clean your street regularly
• Remover litter and dog mess from sidewalks during routing cleaning
• Respond to requests to remove large amounts of litter on city property
• Clean all City parking lots and parkades weekly
• Empty street litter bins regularly
• Attend road accidents to remove debris
• Remove dead animals from the roadway
• Remove offensive graffiti from city property
• Keep the Inner Harbour area clean of debris

Downtown Victoria is cleaned continuously. In other shopping areas, we clean once a week. In residential areas, cleaning is carried out once every six weeks, depending on the amount of litter.

How You Can Help

• Don't drop litter or chewing gum on the streets
• Dispose of waste in the proper place
• Tell us if you see an overflowing bin
• Pick up after your dog
• Don't put sharp objects or hypodermic needles in litter bins
• Recycle your glass bottles, aluminum, and paper
