The Venice Beach Clean Team works at the Venice Beach Boardwalk, Friday, June 11, 2021.

The Venice Beach Clean Team is provided by the Venice Beach Business Improvement District, a nonprofit organization helping to make venice cleaner and safer.

The VB BID’s primary purpose is to provide clean and safe services within the BID zones, above and beyond what the City alone can deliver.

Clean Team services provide:

Sidewalk and gutter sweeping around businesses, residences, and public areas to clear unsightly and unsanitary debris, including weeds and refuse.

Bulky Items such as mattresses and furniture are picked up on a limited, case by case basis.

Trash Removal from public use trash receptacles, which are emptied and kept from overflowing and wiped down as needed.

Surface cleaning and/or painting of streetscape “furniture,” including benches, newsstands, parking meters, and bike racks.

Porter Service to remove graffiti,** stickers, and leaflets.

Tree wells and planters in public areas are cleaned of weeds, trash, and debris.

Sidewalk pressure washing to address unsightly stains and environmental issues such as animal/human waste, using biodegradable solvents when needed.

The Clean Team works 7 days a week.
