Dirty Dallas is in the top third of dirty cities in the United States.
Per a new report, Dallas ranks 38th out of more than 150 dirty cities. This ranking makes it slightly more clean than Houston and San Antonio.
Six of the top fifty most dirty cities are in Texas.
Other Side Dallas loves living in the city and access to the arts, culture, and nightlife – when safe to be part of it. However, more residents usually align with more dirt. This includes pollution, rats, and trash.
Some cities are more effective than others in tackling these issues.
Lawnstarter compared over 150 of the largest cities across the United States in four categories. Those were pollution, living conditions, infrastructure, and consumer satisfaction.
Dirty Dallas
A few years ago Dallas improved its standing with rats – with fewer of them in the city per an Orkin report.
However, during COVID19, trash pileups happened and there were numerous delays in city garbage service.
These delays led some in the community to start their own “Clean the Block” initiatives to improve Dallas.
