UPDATE:
Philly Spring Cleanup: Postponed Until Saturday, April 16th
Due to the forecasted inclement weather, the Streets Department has made the decision to postpone the 9th Annual Philly Spring Cleanup until SATURDAY, APRIL 16. This decision was made out of an abundance of caution and with the safety of all residents and sanitation crews at the forefront.
