For more than two decades, SBS has worked with local economic development organizations throughout the five boroughs to create vibrant commercial corridors.

NYC Clean Streets helps to build healthier business districts and stronger economic development corporations by providing supplemental sanitation services to targeted commercial corridors and offering capacity building resources to the neighborhood-based economic development organizations that represent them.  Through this initiative, NYC Clean Streets makes neighborhood commercial districts cleaner, more attractive places to do business.

Under the program, the cost for supplemental sanitation services is provided entirely by the City in the first year and on a matching basis in the second, with the City contributing 75% of the sanitation program costs and selected organizations contributing 25%. Over the course of the second year of the program, selected organizations are required to raise enough funds to continue the services on their own at the close of the initiative. SBS provides training and support throughout the program so that organizations are capable of independently financing and managing the supplemental sanitation services after two years.

Currently SBS is not accepting new applications for the NYC Clean Streets program.
