Neighorhood Cleanups

The EKNA Cleaning & Greening Committee hosts regular neighborhood cleanups and can help you plan and facilitate cleanups on your block! Keep an eye on the EKNA Calendar and Facebook pages for upcoming cleanups. Want to host a cleanup on your block or want to suggest a location that needs some attention? Email info@ekna.org.

The Philadelphia More Beautiful Committee (PMBC) has been organizing block captains since 1956. With over 6,500 block captains in the city, they are the people keeping our blocks clean and green. But we always need more, especially in East Kensington. If your block does not have a block captain and you'd like to become one, please visit the PMBC Block Captain page for more information and to sign up today.

EKNA and ORCA are also happy to maintain a tool library for block cleanups in the EKNA and ORCA service areas. This service is only available to EKNA/ORCA members that can prove residency and are only available Saturday 10am-2pm. Submit your tool requests today.

 Together, we can keep our community clean!
