Clean City Strategy

The Clean City Strategy was developed by Public Works staff and endorsed by Hamilton City Council in 2007 to collectively promote community and City of Hamilton projects, programs and initiatives focused on the remediation, containment and avoidance of litter and graffiti in our community.

The aim of the Clean City Strategy is to encourage behaviours and attitudes conducive to a cleaner, healthier and safer community.This promotional strategy hopes to achieve the vision of a community that works together to create a social and aesthetic environment in which graffiti, litter and associated criminal behaviours are repressed.

The goal of the program is for Hamilton to be known as the cleanest community in Canada.

Strategic coordination of community volunteer resources and City resources will provide taxpayers with better value by moving from remediation to avoidance. The result should be the ability for Public Works staff to direct resources currently used in the remediation of litter and graffiti to other priority infrastructure needs.
