My Tapinoma are pretty dirty. They have a bunch of trash in their formicarium, although They occasionally take some out.

Here's what I've observed about the cleanliness of some species I've kept:
Aphaenogaster tennesseensis: eh...... pretty messy
Camponotus pennsylvanicus: clean enough, sort of
Formica: Ok, I guess.....
Myrmica: Pretty clean
Pogonomyrmex occidentalis: pretty clean
Tetramorium tsushimae: clean
