cleaner 

The Landscape and Forestry Bureau of Xi'an recently announced it has increased the monthly salary for 12,800 cleaners in Xi'an, capital of Shaanxi Province, from 490 yuan ($ 77) to 1,450 yuan ($ 229) per month, the Shaanxi Daily reported on Thursday.

@小叮当与老夫子：I hope the government can fulfill their promise as soon as possible. I've seen many homeless cleaners on Shida Street.

@Yee-Shu：I think both Xi'an residents and visitors should also do something to keep the city clean. If nobody litters, then cleaners' workload will be much lighter.
