Abstract Title

A comprehensive approach to addressing litter, trash and illegal dumping

Speaker Abstract

City of San Jose’s BeautifySJ Program works in collaboration with residents, businesses and inter-agency partners to achieve the goal of a clean city.  By using a neighborhood engagement approach, the BeautifySJ Program manages and coordinates a variety of programs and services to reduce blight and beautify the City of San Jose. These programs include, the anti-graffiti program, anti-litter program, the coordination of volunteer efforts, neighborhood beautification days, removal of illegal dumping and provides trash service at over 200 encampments located throughout the City as part of the Encampment Trash Program.  Like many urban cities the City of San Jose has experienced an increase in litter/trash/dumping related blight which has had an overall impact to our City. To better deliver services to address blight, the City has strategically aligned programs under one manager to better leverage resources and coordinate the delivery of services. Finally, the program uses an equity lens to ensure that communities’ most impacted by blight are appropriately resourced.
