Ranking Sydney’s Cleanest Suburbs (So Far in 2025)

How clean is your suburb, really? Cleanliness isn’t just about what’s visible — it’s about what’s being maintained. In this ranking, we analyse Sydney suburbs across Inner West, East, North, South, and West based on community reports, bin turnover rates, council inspection data, and more.

🏆 Top 10 Cleanest Suburbs in Sydney (2025 Edition):

1. Woollahra – Consistent council efforts, low littering, clean sidewalks

2. Mosman – High community engagement, pressure-washed walkways weekly

3. Sylvania Waters – Proud local upkeep, few illegal dumping reports

4. Leichhardt – Well-kept streets, especially around Town Hall and Norton Street

5. Drummoyne – Waterfront areas regularly cleaned, great public space hygiene

6. Paddington – Café-rich but impressively tidy, with proactive rubbish patrols

7. Lane Cove – Balanced cleanliness across commercial and residential

8. Cronulla – Beaches attract crowds but still maintained well (thanks Sutherland Council!)

9. Balmain – Narrow streets but frequently swept, solid residential upkeep

10. Marrickville – Improved drastically in 2025 with local beautification programs

🧼 How We Measured It:

• Bin collection frequency

• Littering fines issued by local councils

• Google Reviews mentioning the word "clean"

• Community survey feedback on maintenance
