Philadelphia has long grappled with litter-strewn streets and overflowing storm drains—but one innovative initiative is turning the tide. Meet Glitter, a groundbreaking startup combining cutting-edge technology, community-driven action, and a pay-what-you-can model to bring cleaner, greener streets to neighborhoods across the city.

With Glitter, street cleaning isn’t just a service—it’s a movement.

What Makes Glitter Shine?

Glitter makes it easy for neighbors to band together and transform their blocks. Here’s how it works:

1. Make a Pledge: Residents contribute what they can to fund weekly cleanups.
2. Share the Load: Contributions are pooled and split, keeping costs low and participation high.
3. Spread the Word: Glitter provides outreach materials to help bring more neighbors on board.
4. Enjoy Clean Streets: Once the pledge goal is met, professional cleaners tackle litter, trash, leaves, and weeds.

More Than Just Clean Streets

Glitter’s mission goes far beyond aesthetics. The initiative creates real, measurable impacts in three key areas:

• Environmental Stewardship: By systematically removing litter and debris, Glitter prevents pollution and protects Philadelphia’s waterways.
• Stronger Communities: Weekly cleanups foster interaction, trust, and pride among neighbors, leading to safer, more connected neighborhoods.
• Accessible Solutions: Glitter’s pay-what-you-can model ensures every block, regardless of income, can enjoy professional cleaning services.

Real Results, Real Change

Since its launch, Glitter has mobilized nearly 1,000 residents and serves almost 300 blocks weekly. This success isn’t just about clean streets—it’s about creating opportunities. Glitter prioritizes hiring from underemployed populations, offering living wages and supporting local economic growth.

The result? A cleaner city, empowered residents, and a model for community-led change.
