Philadelphia's Office of Clean and Green and Green Initiatives is starting its citywide cleaning program this week. The program starts in Northeast Philly and ends in North Philly in January.

The city says the initiative has provided more than 200,000 quality-of-life services through the program. The 13-week program aims to tackle quality-of-life issues like litter, illegal dumping, among others.

"Thanks to the success of the program over the past year and half and the diligent efforts of each agency's employees, the program is now standard operating procedure where detailed cleaning will take place in every neighborhood twice annually," the city said in a statement. "History has demonstrated that efforts from a one-time cleaning of the entire city cannot be maintained alone. Preventive measures, enforcement and support from residents and businesses keeping their areas clean are necessary to sustain cleaning efforts."
