Civic Sweep

Taking responsibility litter-ally

Civic Sweep

Each spring and fall, PSCC organizes a day on which volunteers swarm a swath of the neighborhood, picking up litter, painting over graffiti, planting flowers, mulching tree pits, and scraping several months' worth of illegal fliers off of lampposts.

PSCC is greatly aided in this effort by contributions from local merchants, students performing community service, and volunteers from the Park Slope Food Coop.

Often the neighborhood clean up is accompanied by music, recycling and ecology presentations and events.
