Riverkeeper Sweep Coastal Cleanup

Coastal Cleanup volunteers help remove debris washed up into the Park. They also record what’s collected, contributing to efforts worldwide to better understand and tackle plastic pollution.

This event will be one of over 100 cleanup activities taking place across NYC and the Hudson Valley as part of the 2026 Riverkeeper Sweep.

Note: Coastal Cleanups involve uneven surfaces, rock scrambling, bending, and light lifting.

Advance registration is required and spaces are limited. 

To register:

• New volunteers, please create a Volunteer Profile to sign up for opportunities  

• Registered volunteers, please log-in to your volunteer profile to schedule yourself 

If you’re signing up as a family, please email volunteer@bbp.nyc 

Full details, including location of the activity, will be emailed to registered volunteers a few days prior to the event. 

Note: If you’re not seeing any dates available when trying to sign up for a Coastal Cleanup opportunity, it’s because either all the spots have been filled, or the event has not yet opened for sign-ups. Keep an eye out for communications from us regarding upcoming opportunities and updates!
