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.

*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 or if they have potentially been exposed to COVID-19.
Over the last 12 years, Sweep leaders have completed 1,199 service projects, bringing together thousands of volunteers from NYC to the Adirondacks to clean up 355 tons of debris, and plant or maintain 7,130 native plants. This incredible effort is made possible by the generosity of our 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.
