The Clean Sweep program is Stockton's annual neighborhood cleanup program for residents within the city limits. It is completed once per year in 9 separate geographic areas in Stockton.

The garbage company will tag your cart 1-2 weeks before your area's scheduled cleanup day.

The Stockton Clean Sweep is available to single-family homes, duplexes, or triplexes in the city of Stockton. If you live in the county, please call the San Joaquin County Solid Waste Office at 468-3066 for details on their current programs.
