NEW YORK - Manhattan: Dyckman Street & Broadway to Dyckman Pier Cleanup

May 3, 2025 from 1 PM to 3:30 PM

Join Manhattan Solid Waste Advisory Board and We ACT for Environmental Justice for a cleanup and plastic waste audit from Dyckman Street & Broadway to Dyckman Pier from 1 PM to 3:30 PM for the 14th Annual Riverkeeper Sweep. This is a rain or shine event.

Volunteers will meet at the Starbucks at 4761 Broadway, New York, NY 10034. Street parking available, but arrive early as it can be competitive.

We recommend that all Sweep volunteers bring a hat, sunscreen, a full reusable water bottle, insect repellent, work gloves and hand sanitizer. Bring a reacher grabber tool if you have one.

This site is suitable for elementary-aged children with adult supervision.

*IMPORTANT! To ensure the safety of volunteers, Sweep Site Leaders, professional staff, and our communities, we ask that volunteers adhere to the following guidelines:

• Volunteers are required to pre-register for Sweep.
• Volunteers should not participate if they have ANY signs of illness.

Over the last 13 years, Sweep leaders have completed 1,349 service projects, bringing together thousands of volunteers from NYC to the Adirondacks to clean up 382 tons of debris, and plant or maintain 8,851 native plants. This incredible effort is made possible by the generosity of Riverkeeper’s members, sponsors, and donors. If you would like to support the continued growth of the Riverkeeper Sweep, please consider making a donation. Contributions of any amount are meaningful.
