Philly Spring Cleanup

2010 RESULTS


We can all take pride in our last three Philly Spring Cleanups. The 2008 effort was the largest one-day Cleanup in American history. In 2009 we focused on building sustainable communities by tackling specific beautification projects. In 2010 we used our day-long Cleanup to call for a year-round effort.
