Anchorage doubled its cleanup crew with 10 new year-round jobs, funded by a $4 trash surcharge, to tackle litter and debris.
Anchorage has doubled its public space cleanup workforce by adding 10 year-round positions to the Healthy Spaces team, expanding to two crews, as part of a broader effort to address litter, illegal dumping, and debris.
The expansion, funded by a $4 surcharge on trash at city facilities, aims to support year-round operations and improve response to public reports.
The city removed over 2.4 million pounds of trash last year, equivalent to 30 humpback whales, and has not abated large homeless encampments in 2026 due to increased shelter access and outreach.
A new web portal allows residents to report waste issues, and the city emphasizes the initiative as a step toward holding responsible parties accountable and preserving public spaces.
