The MAs are easily recognizable and work 7 days a week to enhance cleanliness and aid snow removal within the DID. The entire DID is cleaned 2½ times every week on foot or with the various maintenance equipment owned by ADP, including: ½ ton truck, Gehl w/attachments, 6 wheeler, (3) trailers, Sweepster, Billy goat, (2) 6080’s (walk-behind vacuums), and numerous other hand tools.
The MAs also utilize Community Work Service workers to maximize both perceptions of and actual cleaning in the DID. In addition, the MAs established partnership with Veterans’ Industries and Assets, Inc. that have allowed ADP to reintegrate veterans into the work force and to provide an avenue for Alaskans with disabilities to solve their employment needs and live independently.
