The City of Philadelphia is pleased to announce the 3rd Annual Philly Spring Cleanup to be held Saturday, April 10, 2010 (rain date, Saturday, April 17, 2010).
This year's Cleanup, entitled "Keep Up the Sweep Up," will be the start of our sustained effort to eliminate and prevent litter and illegal dumping-permanently. With ongoing strategies of education, enforcement, intense cleaning, and beautification, we are committed to making our City and our neighborhoods clean.
Currently you can submit projects at
http://www.phillycleanup.com. On March 8 the website will begin accepting volunteer registrations.
In the past two years the spring cleanup has removed 3.25 million pounds of trash, cleaned over 4,100 blocks, and harnessed the energy of over 21,000 volunteers.
