Beginning at 3:00 AM, our team of nine maintenance workers pressure washes sidewalks and building alcoves, performs litter removal, hangs flower baskets and spearheads graffiti abatement throughout the downtown. The Clean Team performs their duties in an 80-block area bordered by Center Street on the West, Church and Sonora Streets to the South, the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks on the East and Lindsay Street on the North. The Clean Team also works, by special request, with the City of Stockton on selected downtown events, such as the Asparagus Festival, Waterfest and the Italian Street Painting Festival.

In the past eight years, the Clean Team has collected and removed more than 300 tons of trash from the downtown. For its efforts to remove dirt, debris and other downtown litter, the Clean Team helped the Alliance win a Mayor's All-America City Award for Stockton commercial districts and a Target Opportunities for Prevention Pollution (TOPPS) award for pollution prevention and keeping debris out of the Deepwater Channel area.

For on-call sidewalk and special cleaning problems call the Downtown Stockton Alliance (209) 464-5246.
