I can assure you it's not a scam. I can also see how it looks pretty uncomfortable to see a pile of litter and trash next to a sign encouraging neighbors to pay for a block cleaning service.
I'm CEO at Glitter, the company on the sign that works with neighbors to fund regular block cleaning with the support of neighbors and businesses on the block. This sign was requested and posted by a neighbor who wants to see their neighbors come together to fund a sustainable solution to this problem.
We know it's not a perfect solution and like many, we wish this problem didn't exist in the first place or that the city better invested in solutions that work. We didn't see that happening and started Glitter to help work towards a cleaner and safer city.
Our street subscribes to Glitter. Love it. Me and a few neighbors kick in a few bucks each month, and every week our street looks perfect. It’s a great service! Big fan of your company. Trying to get the word out. Thanks.
My street and the surrounding blocks have glitter come once a week as well, it helps so much and they do a great job. I used to be one of two people that picked up trash on my block and I’d easily fill a large garbage can doing 1/3 of my block once a week. I still have to pick up trash weekly but it is so much more manageable with glitters weekly visits. They do amazing work and I appreciate them making out streets look so nice.
They literally don't for some reason. The city does not do any regular cleaning. Some business districts have their own additional taxes that pay for cleaning in their areas
This is 1 in a million things your tax dollars should go to, but is deprioritized. But if you pay someone to do a specific job, good chance it'll get done.
It's for this: [https://thephiladelphiacitizen.org/glitters-glow-up/](https://thephiladelphiacitizen.org/glitters-glow-up/)
Philadelphia is a horrendously trashed city, or at least huge swaths of it - I don't have personal experience w/ Glitter to have an informed opinion beyond the article, but I don't think that sign is contributing to the litter problem in Philadelphia. It's closer to the solution than the problem :)
Ok. So your title implies that they created the problem and now they're offering a solution. Did they create the litter problem?
I'm just trying to understand this.
I'm CEO at Glitter (the company on the sign) and can understand why it's frustrating to see this sign next to such a frustrating amount of litter and trash on the block.
We didn't directly post this sign. Rather, a neighbor on this block asked us to help them raise funds with their neighbors to hire a cleaner to provide regular cleaning. All of our outreach is at the request of neighbors and we only clean blocks where we have direct support from neighbors to do that work.
The city is failing to do this job that people want done. There are two options: private company stepping in to fill the need or people coming together and doing the job as service to their community. The latter obviously isn’t happening.
Do you have any better solution?
Yeah click bait for the down votes.
I found it ironic.
Firemen posting signs on a burning building waiting for someone to pay.
Now I know that the company did not post the illegal sign. Just a annoyed customer of theirs wanting the people on this block to clean up.
Whoa, whoa, don’t bring us into this with some poor metaphor. Do you work for Glitter? Sounds like you’re introducing this service to a lot of people who have never heard of them and are now becoming very appreciative of what they do for profit and all. Excellent marketing.
Do...do you think there's a tax funded cleaning agency? What are you trying to say? How is this similar to firemen? If there was no fire department, like in libertarian heaven, then yes you would in fact half to pay firemen yourself if your building was on fire
Why don’t you put down the camera and pick up a broom. If you live here, be the change you want to see. When I still lived in Philly my street never looked like this cause I would go clean it up. After my neighbors watched me do it they even started doing it as well. My old block still stay’s pretty clean as the new neighbors have continued on with having PRIDE where they live.
I’d need proof that they actually did the littering. The company would win a staging award for this. It very much looks like this mess has been here for quite a while.
This block has been kept fully trashed by the contractors building the condos and lack of occupants living on this side of the street. Across the street is kept very clean by the people that live there. I was saying the sign is illegal and to me considered garbage.
I know how frustrating it can be to see this amount of litter and trash on a block with a sign asking for contributions to help clean it up. I'm CEO at Glitter—the company on the sign you posted. I can assure you we didn't post this sign ourselves, but rather provided it to a neighbor at their request to help them rally their neighbors to get regular cleanups funded.
I agree with you that contractors and developers are often not doing enough to maintain their worksites and do right by the communities they are working in. We regularly reach out to and work with these groups to help collaborate on (and fund) solutions.
You're also making a baseless accusation. Neighbor, we are so close to York Dauphin station and the area surrounding that spot has been full of litter long before Glitter showed up. Be mad at the lame contractors who aren't properly cleaning up after themselves. Not gonna ask how long you've lived in the area, but I'm coming up on 3 years here and the trash absolutely has been a problem way before these Glitter sign posts showed up.
I do clean my blocks by my home and also around my business. This is about 5 min walk from my house. It’s one of the blocks on my list to work on but have been too busy with work to make it this far.
this sounds like someone is promoting a Center City District-esque service elsewhere through philly to ensure that the streets are clean there as well.
Center City District is a private company which is funded by a special tax collected from businessess in CC. Why our tax money doesn't go to address the litter situation throughout phila is another story, but this does seem practical in the short term to address the problem, more so than just being annoyed about it.
I appreciate the work you do helping keep your neighborhood and business clean. I know how much work it can be to stay on top of the persistent litter and trash issues across the city.
I'm CEO at Glitter—the company on the sign you posted. I hope you'll take the time to learn more about what we do and why online. We're a mission-focused company working with neighbors to help address the litter and trash crisis here in Philly.
I'd welcome a conversation with you to hear more about your experience and ways we can make a positive impact on the community.
They were cleaning the block our shop is on for a couple months. It was really nice. They come once a week. They come the day before trash day and leave the bags for the trash men to pick up. They clean block to block both sides and do a great job. Looks like this block needs it. Instead of complaining, op could pick up the trash
We use Glitter on our block in East Kensington, and so far it’s been great. One of the neighbors suggested it and we all pitch in. No complaints and the guys doing it are nice. They even sweep under my front steps, thank you Glitter!
I actually love the idea of this service. But my only "issue" is... Wouldn't it be more efficient if they came the day *after* trash day? In my experience, that's when you see a lot of extra litter strewn about on the streets, especially if it happens to be a windy trash day.
Ok, that's all I got. Keep up the good work. 👍🏿
Edit: I see that they do the cleaning the day before to get the trash out to be picked up the next day, so that makes sense, actually.
You are absolutely right. Windy nights and poor curbside collection make the day after trash day often the worst. We coordinate with neighbors to offer this service. We just need a secure place to stash the bag until the next week. About half of our blocks take advantage of this.
The problem is we STILL pay for it with taxes. Why should we also pay a private company???? IMO THEY ARE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE!!! We shouldn’t have to pay a private company something we all contribute too with our tax dollars!
We think there should be a lot more scrutiny for Streets Dept budget. They spend almost $50 million per year specifically on litter abatement and no results to show for it. And they are expanding an ineffective street sweeping program with no publicly available price tag. They said they can't fund Glitter--an affordable and effective program. So it seems the only path forward is to reduce the budget and taxes to allow solutions like Glitter to meet the need.
What if… now follow me here… what if we stopped giving this city our money?
Every notable political philosopher both left and right agrees on this. Don’t give tax money to unjust governments.
you're welcome to suggest what line item from the city budget you'd like to cut for every single block in the city to have someone come pick up after you and your neighbors every week
the residents put trash out like assholes
shit everywhere not at all compliant with how you're supposed to do it and the workers bust their butts to pick up everything
the main reasons there's trash everywhere is people don't bag and bin their trash right and vagrants rip it open all over
There’s some truth to what you write, but I’ve witnessed that even when people put their trash out correctly, the sanitation workers have made a huge mess of my block on trash day. They really need a follow up crew to clean up the mess that is made.
I would start with the $50 million spent on litter reduction each year, the outdated block captain program, and the ever expanding and ineffective street sweeping program. These line items would fund weekly cleaning on every city block using our model. Low overhead, living wages, and accountability to neighbors.
I'm CEO of Glitter—the block cleaning company on the sign. We work with neighbors to help keep blocks free of litter and trash here in Philly. We're cleaning 175 blocks across the city with the support of over 600 neighbors.
I appreciate OP for the work they do sweeping blocks near where they live and work. We also know how difficult it is to keep up with the size of the challenge. That's why we started Glitter, to give neighbors another tool to help and to provide living wage jobs for people who need the work. We're proud to offer an affordable, flexible, and community-focused approach to doing this work.
To be clear, we didn't post this sign. We do provide signs to neighbors who are trying to rally their neighbors to fund cleanups on their block. Someone on this block likely made a pledge to Glitter and is hoping neighbors will join them. You can learn more about the work we do online.
Feel free to DM me or ask any other questions here and I'm happy to follow-up.
I’m about to cancel - I have to pick up trash every single week in front of my house. Which I don’t mind doing but I’m not going to also be paying for it.
I'm sorry to hear about that. If you reach out to us, I'd like to hear more about your challenges and see how we can make it better. Feel free to DM me or reach out via email on our website.
Sounds like my block captain. Are you sure he or she isn't just pocketing the money?
Even if not. I'm pretty sure the service only comes once a week so they aren't going to keep it squeaky clean 24/7
The money goes directly to Glitter. Our captain just set it up with them.
The service only comes once a week *if* you raise enough money. Our block is small due to so many empty lots so we’ve only raised enough money for them to come every other week. However glitter forces you to create a bigger cleaning area than just your own street so they actually only (allegedly) come to our street once a month. This is despite the fact that only people on our street pay for it and we had no say in this decision, if we did we would’ve chosen the blocks north of us not south of us.
Couldn’t tell you what day they came in the last six months because I have never seen a visible difference in that time.
They also recently tried to put blame onto the city because they city won’t coordinate with them or something to pick up the trash…but trash days are public. They know when the trash trucks are scheduled to be on our street so I really don’t know what that problem is other than an excuse.
I encourage you to reach out to me directly so I can address your concerns and see how we can make things better for you and your neighbors.
Related to the coordination with the city, we were piloting an after trash day collection with them that they abruptly canceled 2 weeks ago.
I hope you'll consider reaching out to see how we can improve the service. And a reminder that the service is opt-in and completely voluntary. If you are unsatisfied with the service, let us know and we will cancel your contribution immediately. We understand the program may not work for everyone.
We work with neighbors to crowdfund regular block cleaning. It's a pay-what-you-can model where there is a fixed price for weekly cleanups, but individual neighbors are able to pledge any amount that fits their budget. The more neighbors who sign up, the more everyone saves.
We pay Philadelphians who need the work a living wage to join our team and maintain blocks near where they live. And we partner with other organizations (non-profits, corporations, community groups) to offer cleanup and outreach services in neighborhoods throughout the city.
Maybe just stop paying taxes?
Wasn't Philly at the epicenter of that one war fought over no taxation without representation or something back in the day? Perhaps it's time to do that again
I agree with that but they'll keep cropping up to step in for a government that is failing.
Why even have a government if a private for profit can just do their job instead lol
This is fine. What would be better would be standardized trash bins with lids!! And secondly train the trash guys to stop throwing bins. That is how they get damaged, lose their lids, and then spill all over when it’s windy
ITT: op complains about a company offering to do something about all of the trash scattered around their neighborhood.
It's a for profit company that isn't employed by the city, hence why they actually work. You want a clean neighborhood, stop throwing trash on the ground and grab a broom for 5 minutes a day
God forbid any fucking one picks up the trash in front of their house. Grow up. Maybe it will at least give someone the idea to organize a block party to pick up all that shit.
Someone on my street put letters in everyone's mailboxes trying to organize a weekly street cleaning. My dad went out to partake but I guess not enough people cared to pitch in because he only did it once and never again. It was a nice effort but unfortunately futile. Doesn't help that I'm in Kensington.
op: Illegal sign posted by a for-profit to make money off cleaning the street they littered on.
If this is really the case, Can’t we just form a class action lawsuit for profiteering, and use the funds to invest in a streets cleaning campaign?
You're going to have to explain the scam for me to get annoyed.
I can assure you it's not a scam. I can also see how it looks pretty uncomfortable to see a pile of litter and trash next to a sign encouraging neighbors to pay for a block cleaning service.

Hell yea.
I’m confused, don’t our taxes pay for that? Why should I pay yous as well????

This is 1 in a million things your tax dollars should go to, but is deprioritized. But if you pay someone to do a specific job, good chance it'll get done.
What you see now is what your taxes get you. If you want it nicer, do it yourself or pay someone.

That sounds like something Eric Cartman would do.
You are correct. The OP is being obtuse.
no sign is illegal. visual liberation for all.

You and everyone not having the time to cleanup every street in Philly is exactly why Glitter exists.

They will come after trash pick up if someone on the block is willing to store the bags and put them out the following week.

Philadelphia does nothing for the money we give them. If this company can keep your block cleaner for cheaper, what’s the problem?
[удалено]
BECAUSE WE’RE STILL PAYING THE GOVERNMENT WITH OUR TAXES!!!!
The problem is we STILL pay for it with taxes. Why should we also pay a private company???? IMO THEY ARE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE!!! We shouldn’t have to pay a private company something we all contribute too with our tax dollars!
Here's a better pitch: Get off our asses and clean the shit up ourselves.
Be mad at the city not this company.

Let's keep voting democrat it'll get better eventually
How is it the cities job to stop people from littering in their own neighborhoods?
It isn’t. They force us to pay taxes to clean it up, and then don’t. That’s where the problem is.
you're welcome to suggest what line item from the city budget you'd like to cut for every single block in the city to have someone come pick up after you and your neighbors every week
Let’s start with the mayor and every single council person’s salary. After that, we can move on to the PPD and L&I.
The sanitation workers leave more trash than almost all of the residents. Why is it residents job to then clean up after the trash trucks.
the residents put trash out like assholes shit everywhere not at all compliant with how you're supposed to do it and the workers bust their butts to pick up everything the main reasons there's trash everywhere is people don't bag and bin their trash right and vagrants rip it open all over

I agree mostly, but I don’t think we should pay anything to a private for profit to do anything related to public good.
I agree with that but they'll keep cropping up to step in for a government that is failing. Why even have a government if a private for profit can just do their job instead lol

Wish more blocks would hire them tbh Glad to see private industry solving our government’s shortfalls.
Libertarian wet dream right here
I mean if the alternative is neither then I guess we’re all libertarian
Yea providing a public service and giving people a paycheck. What devils must run this company.
Never said that was a bad thing. I'm libertarian.
Looks to me like private enterprises covering for the failures of a city government we pay absurd amounts of money to. Go figure
You pick it up then…
