AboutCalling all Albany residents, workers, and visitors! Bring your friends, family, co-workers, or just yourself, and join us for a day of cleaning and beautifying downtown Albany's parks, sidewalks, streets, and public spaces on Earth Day. The Downtown Albany BID and the City of Albany Department of General Services (DGS) invite you to join us on Tuesday, April 22, from 11:00 AM-3:00 PM for our Earth Day Cleanup.
The BID and DGS will provide cleanup supplies, including garbage bags, lawn bags, gloves, trash pickers, brooms, rakes, and shovels in two drop locations for volunteers to use. Check-in between 11 AM and 2 PM at one of the following locations:
Check-in Location 1 | 11:00 AM

All supplies and collected trash & debris must be returned to the original drop locations by 3:00 PM, for pickup by DGS.
In the event of rain, the Earth Day Cleanup will be held on Wednesday, April 23.
Volunteer Sign Up
To help us prepare, we ask that all volunteers register in advance by reserving a free ticket at the Eventeny link above. All registered volunteers will receive a FREE Great Albany Clean Up T-Shirt courtesy of the City of Albany DGS, and complimentary food and beverages donated by Coulson's News & Deli.
Walk-up volunteers are always welcome, but we can only guarantee enough free t-shirts, lunches, and cleanup supplies for those who register in advance.
T-Shirts
All registered guests are encouraged to wear their FREE Great Albany Clean Up t-shirts, which will be available at each check-in location during the cleanup. Participating companies and organizations may also don branded apparel to show their pride in keeping Albany clean!
