Fall River streets get regular cleanings by three different groups. Personnel from the city's Department of Public Works runs a street cleaner up and down both sides of Main Street every morning keeping the city's sidewalks clear of litter. In addition the Department deploys several street cleaning trucks that clear city streets of dirt and debris on a regular basis. Local businesses and government organizations perform regular cleaning of the area around their buildings, often on a daily basis. And inmates from the Bristol County House of Correction in Dartmouth provide intermittent cleanups of state and interstate roadways through the city. Keeping the city clean, one of the Healthy City Action Priorities, requires everyone to pitch in. Some of the groups that participate include the DPW Summer Crew, the City's Clean City Committee, neighbors and neighborhood groups, Mass Water Watch, and local employees from St. Anne's Hospital and ComCast.
