The Brooklyn team is cleaning in high need areas of Brownsville and Crown Heights in partnership with the Department of Sanitation.  On their fourth day of operations, they partnered with volunteers from the Bank of America and staff from the Red Hook Community Justice Center to clean out a neglected, weed and trash filled lot located next to a school and paint over graffiti.  In just their first four days, the Brooklyn team worked with 35 clients (an average of slightly less than nine per day) and removed 60 bags of garbage from neighborhoods.

RESULTS
December 2009
The Brooklyn crew has handled over 174 community service mandates so far. The crew has cleaned up and removed over 400 bags of trash so far, while working in Community Boards 2, 3, 6, and 8, and contributed labor worth almost $10,000 to improving conditions in Brooklyn neighborhoods.

In partnership with the Brooklyn District Attorney's office, the crew assisted St. Mary's Community Services, Inc. with rehabilitating neglected spaces as well as collecting relief supplies for earthquake victims in Haiti. NYC Community Cleanup clients cleaned the grounds, storage spaces and lounges, removing almost 300 bags of trash and shredded documents. Clients also received, transported, washed, sorted and folded dozens of bags of donated clothing and supplies. Click here to view a letter of appreciation.
