DESCRIPTION: May 2, 2026, 10:00 am to 2:00 pm\n \n \nJoin YONKERS PADDLING & ROWING CLUB and Riverkeeper for a cleanup at Downtown Yonkers Waterfront from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm for the 15th Annual Riverkeeper Sweep. This is a rain or shine event.\n \n \nVolunteers will meet at Downtown Yonkers Waterfront in the park at 20 Water Grant Street Yonkers, NY, outside the Apex apartment buildings.  The cleanup site is the park itself and the rocky area along the shoreline of the park. Parking in the immediate area is very limited with few spaces available on Water Grant Street. There is metered parking a few blocks to the north of the Sweep site along Pier Pointe Street, Buena Vista Ave, and Alexander Street. There is additional parking throughout the Getty Square area.\n \n \nWe recommend all Sweep volunteers to bring a hat, sunscreen, a full reusable water bottle, insect repellent, work gloves and hand sanitizer. All cleanup materials will be provided for volunteers.\n \n \nThis site is suitable for elementary-aged children with adult supervision.\n \n \nQuestions? Contact Riverkeeper at sweep@riverkeeper.org or Michael McHugh at michaeljosephmchugh@gmail.com or 914-391-4278. \n \n \n*IMPORTANT! To ensure the safety of volunteers, Sweep Site Leaders, professional staff, and our communities, we ask that volunteers adhere to the following guidelines:\n\nVolunteers are required to pre-register for Sweep. \nVolunteers should not participate if they have ANY signs of illness.\n\n \nOver the last 14 years, Sweep leaders have completed 1,463 projects, bringing together thousands of volunteers from NYC to the Adirondacks to clean up 404 tons of debris, and plant and maintain 11,425 native trees, shrubs, and flowers. This incredible effort is made possible by the generosity of Riverkeeper’s members, sponsors, and donors. If you would like to support the continued growth of the Riverkeeper Sweep, please consider joining Riverkeeper or making a donation. Contributions of any amount are meaningful.\n\n\n \n \n\nFor details, click here: https://engage.riverkeeper.org/component/events/event/24
