Now in its 13th year, the Newburgh Community Cleanup is a city-wide volunteer effort to keep Newburgh clean and green all year long.

Join us Saturday, April 26 on Safe Harbors Green at 9am to check-in; heavy duty gloves and garbage bags will be provided. Please note: this is NOT a bulk pickup day for large items. This event is rain or shine.
