A campaign for New Yorkers, by New Yorkers.
Don’t Do NYC Dirty is a city-wide PSA with one simple truth: the greatest city in the world deserves to be the cleanest. And that only happens if we all do our part.
From borough to borough, from your commute to your corner deli, this campaign is everywhere New Yorkers live, work, and play. It’s a reminder that keeping streets clean keeps our spirit strong.
Some will say one person can’t make a difference. We know better. In New York, small actions add up and when New Yorkers come together, anything is possible.
Don’t Do NYC Dirty. Loud. Proud. Unapologetically New York.
