Team Tidy is a clean streets initiative created by the Newton BIA. As an inclusive employer, the BIA has Team Tidy employees employed through AVIA Employment Services. The team is responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of the streets within the Newton BIA boundary. They do this by picking up litter on streets and parking lots, and reporting graffiti, illegal dumping, illegal signage, abandoned shopping carts, and problem properties. Team Tidy works closely with the CSP (Community Safety Patrol) program to report any problem activities seen throughout their day walking the streets. Team Tidy is an integral part of the BIA’s ‘area enhancement’ pillar.

Look out for the team in their bright blue jackets and vests and say hello!
