Celebrate Spring by Sweeping the Streets Clean with the Park Slope Civic Council!

Make a clean sweep of our neighborhood by joining the Sustainability Committee of the Park Slope Civic Council at its annual spring beautification, recycling and clean-up event – the Spring Civic Sweep on Sunday, April 23, 2017, from 10 am to 2 pm (rain or shine). Our check-in is on 5th Avenue between 3rd and 4th Streets adjacent to JJ Byrne Playground/Washington Park.

Join other volunteers in picking up litter on sidewalks, participating in the care of street trees as well as painting out graffiti, supervised by adults. In addition:

  • Bring your unwanted Electronics for Recycling by the Lower East Side Ecology Center:  working & non-working computers, monitors, printers, scanners, keyboards, mice, cables, TV’s, VCR’s, CD & DVD players, phones, audio/visual equipment, cell phones & PDA’s.
  • Get free perennials from the Greenbelt Native Plant Center
  • Get free juices from Purity Organic

We’ll provide tools, supplies and refreshments. Volunteers will leave wearing “I Made Park Slope Cleaner Today” stickers. Community Service vouchers will be available.
