Many residents and visitors alike have often found themselves overshadowed by the less appealing sight of overflowing trash bins and littered sidewalks. But that narrative is changing, thanks to a promise made by the Philly Mayor that’s transforming the aesthetics and health of the city.
The Mayor of Philadelphia made a bold promise during her campaign to tackle the city trash problem. The Mayor commitment came in response to widespread concerns about public health, environmental sustainability, and the city’s overall appearance. But promises can be easy to make and tough to keep, right? Not in this case.
With a well-thought-out plan, systematic approach, and sheer determination, the Mayor has set a new precedent for what leadership looks like.
In maintaining the Mayor promise, the Philadelphia residents need to do their part in keeping Philly clean by, not littering the clean streets. So next time you’re out and about in Philadelphia, take a moment to appreciate the cleaner streets and remember that positive change is always possible with a shared vision, help and commitment.
The Mayor Strategic Plan is working:
1- First and foremost, the city’s waste collection services has scheduled weekly clean-ups, especially in high-traffic areas and during busy weekends.
2- Mobilizing the community has been another cornerstone of the Mayor promise. Various neighborhood associations, schools, and businesses were encouraged to participate in regular clean-up drives. This not only helped in cleaning up the streets but also fostered a sense of community and shared responsibility.
3- More recycling bins popped up alongside standard trash bins, encouraging Philadelphians to recycle more. Educational campaigns were also launched to inform residents about the benefits of reducing, reusing, and recycling waste.
4- The residents will be looking next to see what the Mayor do about creating more affordable housing and initiating programs to prevent homelessness before it starts.
