Only two weeks left in the Clean Block Contest, but plenty of great blocks to see and judge. We've seen some incredible work from residents who take pride in their blocks and showed a true love for where they live. Twelve blocks more to go, but only one can be a winner!

Be honest: Do you know how many bags of trash you can put out for collection? We hit the streets to see who knew the answer.
For eligible households, the limit is up to 8 bags or 4 32-gallon containers per collection. 🗑️

After 34 years of dedicated service to the City of Philadelphia, we celebrate the retirement of Raymond Jackson.

From beginning his career as a Semi-Skilled Laborer in 1992 to serving as a Street Crew Chief II, Waste Collection District Supervisor, creator of Special Collections, and Relief Assistant Chief of Operations, Raymond has spent more than three decades helping keep Philadelphia clean and moving forward.

He also helped launch the very first Future Track, contributing to an initiative focused on developing the next generation of talent and leaders.

Raymond, your knowledge, leadership, dedication and commitment have left a lasting mark on the Philadelphia Department of Sanitation and the people we serve.

On behalf of the entire Department of Sanitation: thank you for 34 years of service.

Congratulations on your retirement, Raymond Jackson. May this next chapter be filled with happiness, laughter, rest and all the things you’ve earned along the way.

Enjoy retirement, Ray. You’ve earned it.

Reflecting on Mayor Cherelle L. Parker's 1000th day in office, the Department of Sanitation thanks the hardworking men and women working towards a cleaner city through the expansion of services including doubling up on trash collections across 1/3 of the city, getting the streets back to normal after the Superbowl parade, FIFA, winter storms, microbursts and everything in between, bringing back bulk collections, doubling the number of Big Belly units on our streets and seeing to it that every single street in our city is cleaned. Cheers to the first 1000 and the look ahead to continued growth and success of our beautiful city.
