DSNY Volunteer Cleanup Application

Volunteer Cleanup Application
REVIEW THE GUIDELINES BELOW PRIOR TO SUBMISSION
Please complete this application if you would like to borrow tools and supplies for your community cleanup and/or receive trash collection for your cleanup.

The Department of Sanitation (DSNY) provides volunteers and community groups with tools (shovels, rakes and brooms), disposable supplies (bags and gloves), and trash collection. It is not necessary to borrow tools from DSNY to receive trash collection for your cleanup.

DSNY requires two weeks’ notice to rent tools for a Volunteer Cleanup and at least 4 days notice for trash pickup. If there is a change, after you submit the form, to how many tools you need or where and when you want us to pick up the trash, a 3-days notice is required. We also need to know about cancellations or changes to date, time and location as soon as possible.

DSNY reserves the right to list and promote your cleanup on its agency website and social media platforms. If you do not want your event listed, please check the box below.
DSNY Community Cleanup Guidelines

Volunteer Cleanups are intended to clean public streets and sidewalks, excluding parks and beaches. Tools may not be used to clean private property, such as vacant lots, yards, abandoned or occupied houses.

Trash is to be bagged and placed at an intersection or address on your cleanup route. The local offices will be notified of your event and bag placement. If the pickup location changes, you must notify us by email immediately.

It is your responsibility to pick up and return the tools borrowed from DSNY. DSNY loans one tool per volunteer. You will receive a tool loan confirmation email with the location and contact information.

Any damaged or missing equipment must be replaced by your group. Return replacement items along with the tools borrowed on your scheduled tool return date. Bags and gloves do not need to be returned.
