How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 45–120 minutes. Method of record: Hand cleaning of a public hard surface (sidewalk, stairway, transit shelter, storefront frontage) using the least aggressive method the substrate allows, with wash water kept out of the storm drain per EPA stormwater practice.

Bring

• broom, stiff brush, dustpan and contractor bags
• bucket and a low-pressure washer or hose where the substrate allows it
• storm-drain mat or berm plus a wash-water containment and disposal route
• gloves, eye protection, and a grabber for sharps or unknown litter
• camera + GPS phone

Steps

1. 1. Photograph the surface as found, wide then close, with GPS and a legible timestamp.
2. 2. Confirm you have the right to work this surface: public frontage under the posting, or written owner or manager consent for private frontage.
3. 3. Dry-sweep and bag loose litter and debris first; flag anything sharp or unidentifiable and leave it for the responsible agency rather than handling it.
4. 4. Wash only if the substrate allows it, starting with the least aggressive method, and protect the nearest storm drain with a mat or berm before any water runs.
5. 5. Collect or route the wash water to the sanitary or the approved disposal point; never let it reach the storm drain.
6. 6. Photograph the cleaned surface from the before vantage and log the bag count or the area cleaned in the proof record.

If it does not match the plan

• Sharps, needles, or an unidentified liquid or container -> do not touch: photograph, mark the location, and report to the responsible agency.
• Washing would damage historic masonry, a mural or a painted finish -> stop washing, sweep only, and flag for a specialist.
• No consent for private frontage -> clean the public sidewalk portion only and document where you stopped.

What counts as done

• dated before-work photo
• dated after-work photo
• GPS location tag

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
