Neighborhood Cleanup Program

As areas in the city mature, neighborhoods require concentrated revitalization efforts in order to maintain a strong Scottsdale community.

Through the Neighborhood Cleanup Program, we are committed to helping maintain the vitality of our original community by focusing on aesthetic improvements and promoting well-maintained and safe neighborhoods.

As part of this program, the city is providing two free services under the Neighborhood Cleanup Program to residents/volunteers who organize neighborhood cleanup efforts. A neighborhood can request both services or one of the other depending on what is required to complete the cleanup project.
