Ocean Parkway Cleanup
Saturday, August 29th, 9:00 a.m. to noon

Neighborhood residents who don't like the unsightly, unhealthy litter on their streets will continue working together to remove it from the Ocean Parkway service road and pedestrian mall on the east side of Ocean Parkway later this month.

Meet up with the Ocean Parkway Cleanup Crew and The Kensington Stewards on the east side of Ocean Parkway (the side near E. 7th Street) at the intersection of Church Avenue. From there, everyone will work their way south to Avenue C.

The Sanitation Department and the Parks Department will loan some cleanup supplies (grabbers, brooms, etc.), but bring your own cleanup tools, if you have any. The Sanitation Department will pick up the filled trash bags shortly afterward.

This cleanup event will take place on Saturday, August 29th. Drop in to help for however long you can between 9:00 a.m. and noon.

In addition to this and the two previous organized group efforts, people have been picking up litter on their own or with a friend or two. All efforts are appreciated!

Wear a face mask to protect each other from COVID-19, and wear gloves to protect your hands from any litter you might handle.

Invite adults and children from the neighborhood to join in on this ongoing community project.

Ocean Parkway Cleanup and The Kensington Stewards are grassroots groups working toward the betterment of Kensington.
