cleanup crew

Post-event sanitation team

A cleanup crew is a group assigned to restore order after an event or incident.

The term covers workers tidying a venue after a concert, staff restoring a film set between takes, or teams handling hazardous waste removal.

In darker contexts, a cleanup crew disposes of evidence after criminal activity: The boss sent in the cleanup crew after the hit.
