Abating/cleaning 2,239 incidents of graffiti, clearing over 87 tons of garbage and removing 803 grocery carts are some of the City of Yakima Clean City Program activities during the

first six months of 2022.

    Address unscheduled collection of waste and litter from the City’s public areas/thoroughfares

    Support Yakima Police Department officers in unlawful camping enforcement

    Provide coordination with neighborhoods for annual clean-up events

    Create educational components

    Engage with community partners and volunteers

Clean City, under the direction of the City’s Public Works Division, coordinates the efforts of several City departments and community partners. They include:

City of Yakima Public Works:
