Philadelphia's citywide cleaning program kicks off

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia kicks off the summer edition of the "One Philly, United City, Citywide Cleaning Program" on Monday.

The 13 week push aims to freshen up neighborhoods and tackle issues like illegal dumping, abandoned vehicles, litter, graffiti, and neglected lots.

This year, officials are launching a new program called AlleyGators. This gives residents a new way to request help to clean alleyways across the city. The city will limit one cleaning per alley per year.
