Just ask Michelle.

The Public Environment Management Office (PEMO) expanded its popular basic sidewalk cleaning service to several new, busy locations along major corridors in East Portland on October 5, 2026.
Two local contractors, Cultivate Initiatives and Junk It Junk Removal, were selected to h a competitive procurement process. The expansion builds on a program that PEMO launched in October 2025 along major business corridors and shopping districts. Since then, crews have collected more than 522,000 pounds of garbage from Portland sidewalks.
"Half a million pounds of trash from the sidewalk is a lot of trash, and it tells you how much of this work was going undone," says Anne Hill, director of PEMO. "East Portland has been asking for this. Now we have the crews and the contracts to deliver it."
It's easy to overlook sidewalks, but they're a vital part of Portland's transportation network, connecting people to the schools, businesses, and parks they visit every day.
Visit the City’s website to learn more about PEMO’s work.
