How this category is defined

What counts as street cleaning: Street sweeping, debris removal from public right-of-way, and litter in public spaces.

In San Francisco’s raw 311 data, the following 2 service_type values are counted as street cleaning:

  • Litter Receptacle Maintenance
  • Street and Sidewalk Cleaning

To reproduce these counts against the raw feed

SELECT count(*)
FROM <san_francisco_311_raw>

  'Litter Receptacle Maintenance',
  'Street and Sidewalk Cleaning'
)

Analyst tip: Austin uses 'ARR - Street Sweeping' (Austin Resource Recovery — the sanitation department). Calgary has both 'Roads - Debris on Street/Sidewalk/Boulevard' and 'WRS - Debris in Backlane'. NYC's 'Dirty Condition' lands here. Oakland uses 'CUT_CLEAN' and 'STREETSW'.
