May 4 from 12 PM to 2 PM
Join Manhattan Solid Waste Advisory Board (SWAB) for a plastic waste audit project in Washington Heights from 12 PM to 2 PM for the 13th Annual Riverkeeper Sweep. This is a rain or shine event.
Volunteers will MEET at 168th St. and St. Nicholas Avenue. We recommend that all Sweep volunteers bring a hat, sunscreen, a full reusable water bottle, work gloves, hand sanitizer. Bring a litter grabber if you have one. Please note you will be sorting cigarette butt trash, so you may bring a mask if you are sensitive to cigarette smell.
This site is suitable for elementary-aged children with adult supervision and even better for high school students looking to fulfill their volunteer hours!
We will conduct a waste audit of all the rubbish and separate recyclables.
