The City’s Department of Streets has opened registration for residents and groups who want to participate in this year’s Spring Cleanup, the annual citywide cleaning, beautification and greening program.

This year, the event will be held on Saturday, April 2. Individuals and organizations are invited to submit their projects, such as park and neighborhood cleanups, or register as volunteers.

The Spring Cleanup activities include trash pick-up, sweeping sidewalks, removing graffiti, painting benches, planting bulbs and more.

Project registration deadline is Friday, March 18. Volunteers registration closes on Friday, April 1.

The program launched in 2008 and since then a total of 200,000 volunteers have removed more than 11 million pounds of trash.
