Broadleaf Property Policing
“Someone needs to pick that up.” But the person saying it won’t. So who will? Broadleaf will.
Recurring, documented litter removal for commercial property across the Triangle. We walk your entire site by hand and clear what machines and mowers leave behind.

The gap nobody owns
Four vendors can service your property. Litter still gets left behind.
Every one of them is doing their job. Litter simply falls between the jobs — it is the one thing on a property that is everybody’s problem and nobody’s responsibility.
| Your vendor | What they own | What’s left |
|---|---|---|
| Landscaper | Plants, turf and contracted grounds work | Litter patrol is incidental at best — often mowed straight over |
| Sweeper | Open pavement and curb lanes | Beds, shrubs, islands, fence lines and every tight corner |
| Janitorial | Building interiors and main entrances | The whole exterior beyond the door |
| Waste hauler | Containers and scheduled pickups | Everything loose on the ground around them |
| Broadleaf | Recurring litter across the entire property | One accountable vendor. One clearly maintained standard. |
Keep your landscaper. Keep your sweeper. Let Broadleaf handle the litter.
The patrol
Six zones, walked in the same order, every visit.
Every account gets a numbered zone map, so your crew, your report and your property manager all share one definition of finished. Nothing depends on someone’s memory or on how much time was left at the end of the day.
01 Entrances
Storefronts, doorways and the first twenty feet a customer sees.
02 Perimeter
Building edges and sidewalks the whole way round.
03 Beds & shrubs
Landscape beds, under shrubs and around tree rings — where wind puts it and where nobody reaches.
04 Parking
Spaces, lanes, curb lines, corners and islands.
05 Dumpster & carts
Enclosure surrounds, cart corrals and loading areas.
06 Edges
Fence lines, property boundaries, drainage swales and pond edges where safely reachable.
- Cigarette butts
- Bottles & cans
- Cups & wrappers
- Plastic bags
- Paper & small cardboard
- Windblown litter
Medical · Restaurants · Business property
Your facility may be smoke-free. Your property shouldn’t show the evidence. Broadleaf removes the visible litter. We don’t enforce smoking policy, and we don’t police people — only the property.
Cigarette litter collects at employee entrances, along curbs and in the beds nearest the door — the exact ground a patient crosses on the way in. For a building whose reputation rests on how clean it looks, that is the first thing seen and the last thing anyone is assigned to fix.
The same problem, in a different form, sits outside every restaurant and every business with a parking lot. Drive-through lanes, dumpster surrounds, the strip of bed between the curb and the door — all of it is somebody’s first impression of you, and none of it is anybody’s job.
Service programs
Priced on what your property actually needs.
Cadence is set by traffic and how fast litter genuinely accumulates on your site — not by square footage. Two properties the same size can need very different visits.
Essential
Once weekly
Low-litter offices, medical suites and light commercial. Routine appearance control.
Active
Two to three times weekly
Retail, restaurants, busy offices and shopping centers carrying steady volume.
High Traffic
Four to six times weekly
Food centers, high-volume retail and medical campuses. Clean before you open.
Portfolio
Custom or daily
Property managers and multi-site operators. One standard, one report, one invoice.
Every quote follows a walkthrough. If a property has real buildup already, that is cleared once under a separate Property Reset — we don’t bury an accumulated mess inside your monthly price, and we don’t promise unlimited work for a fixed fee we can’t sustain.
The standard
Caught early, it stays small.
Nothing dramatic — and that is the point. Recurring service means the difference is small every time, because it never gets the chance to become large.
How it works
Walk it, map it, then hold the standard.
The walkthrough
Fifteen minutes on site. We look at traffic, tenant mix, where wind puts litter and where it collects — then show you where your current service stops.
The assessment
Zones mapped, hotspots marked, service time measured, disposal location confirmed. You get a written scope with the exclusions stated, not implied.
The reset
If there is buildup, we clear it once and photograph the baseline. Quoted separately, so it never distorts the recurring price.
The recurring patrol
Same zones, same order, on schedule. Off-peak or before opening where that suits you better.
Site condition reporting
You should hear about what we see.
Because we’re regularly walking your property, the crew notes what a property manager would want flagged — an overflowing dumpster, a damaged light or parking wheel stop, graffiti, broken glass, an irrigation leak, standing water, a downed limb or a trip hazard.
Reporting it is included. Fixing it isn’t automatically — anything outside the litter scope comes back to you as a note or a separate quote, never as a surprise on an invoice.
Proof of service
Confirm the visit in under a minute.
Each visit records the property, date, arrival and departure, which zones were completed, anything inaccessible, and any exception found — with photographs where they are useful or contractually required.
We report exceptions, not paperwork for its own sake. Portfolio accounts also get a monthly summary across every site.
Stated plainly
What this service is not.
A scope that is clear at the start is what stops arguments later. These sit outside standard recurring service — we photograph them from a safe distance, report them, and quote separately or refer them on where that is the right answer.
- Mechanical sweeping — that stays with your sweeper
- Interior janitorial work of any kind
- Furniture, mattresses, appliances and tires
- Large construction debris
- Large-scale illegal dumping
- Hazardous materials and unknown chemicals
- Sharps and needles — reported, never handled
- Animal carcasses
- Routine trash-can service unless separately contracted
Request a walkthrough
A 15-minute walkthrough tells us more than any form.
We’d rather walk your property than guess at it. You’ll see exactly where your current vendors stop and where we’d begin — and you’ll get a written scope and a straight price for the cadence your site actually needs.
