Want to make Philadelphia a place to be proud of? Join thousands of other volunteers on Saturday, April 5th for the Philly Spring Cleanup in the mission to remove 1 million pounds of litter from our streets.

And luckily, not all of that trash will be going to landfills. Recycling bags will also be provided so that volunteers can source separate recycling!
