In 2017, Sari Ladin-Sienne wrote about the City of Los Angeles' CleanStat program, a revolutionary use of #GIS and #opendata in the livability and sanitation space. Today, we have an updated piece on CleanStat and all the new, expanded, and comprehensive work being conducted by the incredible LA Sanitation & Environment Livability Services Division. Many thanks to Rodell Allan Zorilla and Sal Rosales for their insights, and their dedication to making LA a cleaner, healthier, and more livable city for everyone!
