Downtown is one of the cleanest neighborhoods in New Orleans thanks to the DDD Clean Team. Clean Teams use traditional pans and brooms, as well as automated vacuum machines, for litter abatement, while pressure-washing trucks spray the sidewalks for a deeper cleaning. A dedicated graffiti team removes graffiti from public spaces, and crews also paint trash cans and light poles when necessary. We go the extra mile to make sure that Downtown New Orleans is clean, fresh and comfortable for the residents who live and work here.

Sidewalk Litter Ordinance
Clean sidewalks are essential to maintaining a safe environment where people want to live, work, and visit. With that in mind, we send out DDD maintenance crews every day to hit the streets and keep Downtown looking its best. They work 24/7, providing enhanced services such as litter removal, pressure washing, graffiti removal and other cleaning services as needed.
We invite our Downtown constituents to assist and partner with us in our cleaning efforts by adhering to sidewalk litter ordinances. You can also help us by discouraging delivery trucks and others from driving over and/or parking on our sidewalks. We look forward to working together to ensure that Downtown is the cleanest and safest place in New Orleans.
