He confirmed it was better than it used to be and the yard company was responsible for picking up trash and cigarette butts.

LPN confirmed facility was responsible to maintain clean and safe facility and grounds. Review of facility policy titled, Preventative Maintenance, dated 03/12/22, revealed maintenance was responsible for maintaining a schedule of services to ensure building and grounds were maintained in a safe and operable manner.
