"New Yorkers are often disconnected from our waste system and the way their consumption habits impact our environment in the short and long term. It is critical for the City to invest not only in core collection and cleaning services, but in the sustainability and education programs that help to mitigate climate change and engage residents on the importance of this work and how they can contribute in a positive way."

“It's been a joy to work with Clean Bushwick Initiative over the years. They have grown so much from holding monthly clean-up projects to now engaging an even wider audience on environmental responsibility and stewardship through an array of clean-ups, projects, and events. Working with CBI to help them achieve their goals always makes me feel like I'm helping them make a larger difference.“

"I’ve lived in Bushwick for 8 years now. Whether it’s CBI or any other cause you care about, I think it’s important to take action and make a difference in your local community. It feels great to give back to the community, all while making some new friends and making the neighbourhood breathe better and look prettier.”
