23 in 23:Public Works’ Plan to Clean Up 23 Communities in 23 Days is a neighborhood clean-up program instituted by newly-elected Mayor of Birmingham Larry Langford in November 2007 and carried out by the Birmingham Department of Public Works. The number "23" refers to the number of communities in Birmingham's Community Participation Program.
As presented, the program involves three waves of work crews spending one day working in each community. The first wave includes 24 limb loaders and 8 pickers removing trash and debris. The second wave includes 30 horticulture crews to cut and clean parks, rights-of-way, alleys, ditches and vacant lots. The third wave involves smaller trash and brush crews picking up debris from the second wave.
The order in which communities are serviced was determined by geography:
- Five Points West community
