Summary "Municipal Housecleaning" by William Parr Capes and Jeanne Daniels Carpenter is a comprehensive guide on urban waste management written in the early 20th century. The text examines the processes American cities have employed for collecting and disposing of various types of municipal waste, such as garbage, refuse, and sewage, emphasizing the importance of organized municipal cleaning for public health and aesthetics. At the start of the publication, the authors introduce the concept of municipal cleanliness as essential for the well-being of urban communities. They argue that efficient waste disposal systems are critical amidst growing populations and urban congestion. The preface outlines the rising demand for scientific approaches to these challenges, indicating that the book will provide valuable information for city officials seeking to improve their waste management systems through collaboration and the adoption of modern methods.
