Since its kickoff March 11, Operation Clean Sweep crews have worked each Saturday to clear more than 205 tons of debris from more than 40 miles of major DeKalb County roadways.
Operation Clean Sweep is targeting arterial roadways before turning a focus to collector, then residential, streets. Crews clear grass, trash and debris from roadway drains and curbs, mow county-owned rights-of-way and remove litter.
While crews will continue to their work each Saturday, DeKalb is expanding its blight-fighting efforts by ramping up outreach, education and community involvement. Neighborhood associations, businesses or community group can participate in Adopt-a-Road, Adopt-a-Stop, community cleanups and beautification events with Keep DeKalb Beautiful.
