Don’t Do The Bronx Dirty.

We’re back for Year 5 of our Bronx Summer Cleanup Series — and this year, we’re going big to celebrate the power of community and borough pride. And yes — every volunteer walks away with a voucher for a pair of Yankees tickets as a thank-you for keeping the Bronx beautiful.

Presented by the Sanitation Foundation and the New York Yankees, the series brings Bronx residents, businesses, and community groups together to take action for a cleaner, greener borough. And with a twist on our new campaign rallying cry — Don’t Do The Bronx Dirty — we’re inviting every New Yorker to show up and show love to their streets.

Last year, 440 volunteers filled more than 600 bags with over 6,140 pounds of litter across five iconic Bronx neighborhoods. This year, we’re building on that momentum with even more energy and celebration of the Bronx we love.

We’ll be cleaning up four of the borough’s most interesting and vibrant neighborhoods - starting on Saturday, July 12, in Bedford Park
