Rain last weekend postponed the cleanup event.

The Philadelphia Streets Department announced a Fall cleanup, creatively named the “Philly Spring Cleanup-Fall Edition.” It was originally scheduled for Saturday, October 1st but is being rescheduled for October 8th due to the rain last weekend.

Interested volunteers can find a project by going to the Philly Spring Cleanup website.
