Downtown Albany
About
Calling all Albany residents, workers, and visitors! Bring your friends, family, co-workers, or just yourself, and join us for a day of cleaning and beautifying downtown Albany's parks, sidewalks, streets, and public spaces on Earth Day. The Downtown Albany BID invites you to join us on Wednesday, April 22, from 10:00 AM-2:00 PM for our Earth Day Cleanup.
The BID, in partnership with the City of Albany Department of General Services (DGS), will provide cleanup supplies, including garbage bags, lawn bags, gloves, trash pickers, brooms, rakes, and shovels in two drop locations for volunteers to use.
Rain date: In the event of rain, the Earth Day Cleanup will be held on Friday, April 24.
