Alleyways - Office of Clean and Green

Alleyways are a vital part of a community’s overall quality of life. Although upkeep for the City’s alleyway system is the sole responsibility of property owners, the City of Philadelphia is now providing limited alleyway cleaning services that are requested formally through the below program form.

Just one more way that Mayor Parker is making Philadelphia safer, cleaner, and greener for all!
