April and May 2025

Join the Sanitation Foundation and help power one of NYC’s biggest volunteer cleanups ever. This spring, New York is uniting for a citywide movement to clean up every corner of our city. From April through May, the NYC Big Spring Clean is sweeping across all five boroughs—and it starts with you. With over 150 cleanups happening citywide, every New Yorker has the power to make an impact, right in their own backyard.

The NYC Big Spring Clean is more than just a spring cleanup—it’s the start of a powerful movement that unites all New Yorkers in one shared mission: a cleaner, brighter city for all. Find a cleanup near you and join us in all the action!
