We believe that social entrepreneurship can work to alleviate many of the fundamental challenges generated by the lack of resources available for essential government services. By minding the gap, we help make the communities where we operate cleaner, safer and more attractive for investment. We view our business success as a way to further benefit the communities we serve through partnership and shared goals.

At CleanScapes, we work to reduce our own environmental impact in many ways:
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and biodiesel trucks
"Green" power
Monthly waste audits at CleanScapes facilities
Internal training, competitions and rewards for recycling and waste reduction
Implement a sustainability policy relating to purchasing, operations and company events
Offer incentives for customers to use paperless billing

We also work with customers to reduce their footprint by providing services such as:
Waste audits
Workshops and presentations
Posters, flyers, decals
Incentives to reduce waste
Low cost recycling

And we partner with the cities we serve:
Parades and public event clean up
Graffiti removal
StreetScapes maintenance services
Duwamish River Stewardship
Nearly 50% of the CleanScapes fleet is powered by compressed natural gas (CNG). Our investment in the latest technology helps us lessen our environmental impact. Our CNG fueling station further reduces trips by our trucks, allowing us to fill up on site. We eliminate 26% of our carbon dioxide production by using CNG trucks on our Seattle routes.
