KEEP DIMOND CLEAN (KDC), STARTED IN 2009, IS A DIA PROGRAM THAT AIMS TO KEEP THE DIMOND COMMERCIAL AREA LITTER-FREE AND THEREBY MORE INVITING TO BUSINESSES, CUSTOMERS, AND PEOPLE ENJOYING THE PUBLIC SPACE. THE EFFORT ALSO KEEPS LITTER OUT OF STORM DRAINS, REDUCING POLLUTION OF THE LOCAL CREEK AND THE BAY. VOLUNTEERS REMOVE ABOUT SIX TONS OF LITTER EVERY YEAR ON ORGANIZED WALKS TWO DAYS A WEEK. KDC ALSO FUNDRAISES IN THE COMMUNITY TO PAY A MAINTENANCE COMPANY TO PICK UP LITTER THE OTHER FIVE DAYS OF THE WEEK. STARTING IN 2019, EXPANDED FUNDRAISING HAS ENABLED KDC TO PAY FOR MODEST GRAFFITI-REMOVAL SERVICES AS WELL.
