WE CLEAN
GCP's uniformed sanitation team keeps the sidewalks and streets pristine, earning a reputation for making the Grand Central neighborhood among the city's cleanest. Our crews provide comprehensive street sweeping and sidewalk steam cleaning services seven days a week, and emptied the neighborhood's 282 waste baskets more than 137,000 times in 2005, hauling away 250 tons of garbage in the process.

Additionally, GCP's Sanitation unit also removes graffiti and handbills from walls, poles, newsracks, phone booths, and sidewalk planters. Our cleaners work with our Capital Projects division to clean street signs, paint street furniture, pressure wash the district's distinctive granite street corners, and keep street furniture in top condition.

This comprehensive approach to sanitation has consistently earned GCP top marks for street and sidewalk cleanliness in the quarterly neighborhood report of the Mayor's Office of Operations.
