Commercial establishments in the Central Business District can elect City of Wilmington trash collection ranging from 2 times per week to 2 times a day, seven days per week.

In the Central Business District (CBD), trash bags are used instead of carts. Strict collection times help keep trash and containers off the streets, alleys and sidewalks as much as possible. Glass and cardboard recycling is an option available to downtown businesses.

In addition to the collection of trash, crews also provide daily litter pick up, public restroom maintenance, graffiti removal, alley maintenance, bag delivery and code enforcement. A mini street sweeper and sidewalk pressure washer are used in the district to further enhance the cleanliness of the area.
