Seen on dustbins in China, and seems to occur frequently in 环卫工人. Appears in ZDict.

Editor: Seems that 环卫 is often used in a narrower sense than the term "environmental sanitation".
(e.g. not including "efficient and safe animal, human, and industrial waste disposal" etc -- more like "keeping the streets clean and tidy")

... of sanitation workers are "urban beauticians."
广大环卫职工是“城市美容师”。

The city centre is a well-ordered place, with streets continually swept by an army of workers in fluorescent orange vests.
城市的中心是一个秩序井然的地方,街道由一群身着荧光橘红色环卫服的工人在不断清扫。

And even public service employees, like school-crossing guards and sanitation workers.
甚至囊括公共服务人员,例如学校路口的警卫和环卫工人。

Last day,I saw some cleaners cleaning the streets.
昨天,我看见一些环卫工人正在清扫大街。

CIFIT, followed Fair Park, city sanitation departments at all levels have the city take action.
投洽会、园博会接踵而至,我市各级市容环卫部门已经行动起来。
