Operation Clean Sweep (OCS), a proactive City of Atlanta campaign, is designed to address citywide beautification largely involving the mowing and maintenance of our public right-of-way, litter pick-up, illegal dumping, illegal sign removal, and bulk collection more efficiently and effectively. 

To report illegal dumping, you may call the Department of Public Works (DPW) Illegal Dumping Tip Line at (404)546-DUMP (3867) or ATL311 at (404)546-0311.

Volunteer Clean-up Opportunity. As Atlanta prepares to welcome the world for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, DPW is expanding its commitment to clean and vibrant public spaces through Operation Clean Sweep: The World Cup Edition.

The World Cup Edition focuses on proactive litter removal along major corridors and neighborhoods anticipated to have increased visitation during the World Cup. Come assist in this citywide initiative!  Volunteers will assist with collecting litter and debris within public rights-of-way and designated focus areas. Volunteers must be at least 15 years of age.
 

For clean-up locations, dates and times, and to sign up to volunteer, please use the Volunteer Sign Up Link. Events with fewer than four (4) registered participants may be canceled up two (2) days before. Email kabc@atlantaga.gov for groups 10+.
