About this Event
May 3, 2025 from 10 AM to 2 PM
Join Yonkers Paddling And Rowing Club for a clean up at Yonkers Waterfront from 10 AM to 2 PM for the 14th Annual Riverkeeper Sweep. This is a rain or shine event.
Volunteers will meet at Yonkers Water front, in the park outside the building at 20 Water Grant Street, along the shoreline of Hudson River. The cleanup area will include the park, the adjacent walking path and the rocky shoreline of the river.
Parking on Water Grant Street is limited. There are metered spaces on nearby roads including Main Street, Buena Vista Avenue and Van Der Donck Street, as well as parking further away on Alexander Street. The cleanup site is a five minute walk from the Yonkers train station in Getty Square.
We recommend that all Sweep volunteers bring a hat, sunscreen, a full reusable water bottle, insect repellent, and hand sanitizer. Gloves and trash bags will be provided for all volunteers.
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.

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.
