Cleaning & Safety  

In response to the increasing challenges of street activity and litter faced by businesses within the district, HxBIA provides and contracts with two organizations to provide cleaning and safety services including the following:
Performing micro-cleaning services on sidewalks and in other public spaces,
Removal of graffiti
Collecting and reporting discarded needles found on the downtown streets,
Pressure washing public sidewalks and public spaces.

MP (Mission Possible) 
This service, free to members, gives you the ability to request support for removal of litter and drug paraphernalia from your storefront and alley space and graffiti removal on an as-needed basis.

For example, you get into work in the morning and discover that drug debris has been left in your entryway, or perhaps someone leaves a pile of litter along your storefront during the day - call the MP Neighbours Clean Team.

United We Can Lane Cleaning


Hxbia has been contracting with United We Can in cleaning up the alleys to keep our neighbourhood tidy and clean. The result has been very encouraging.  The lane cleaning program provides daily laneway micro-cleaning and employs individuals exclusively from the Downtown Eastside.
Daily service is provided on a rotating basis to all laneways in our Bia.  Workers are dispatched in teams to walk the laneways to collect garbage, syringes and other refuse.
Lane cleaning has improved the health and safety in the designated areas by reducing rodent infestation and fire hazards on local sidewalks, alleyways and green spaces. The program also reports any illegal dumping activities to the City of Vancouver.
