Mayor Nutter has announced a major citywide clean-up initiative to take place on Saturday, April 5th, from 9am to 2pm. He called it the “largest citywide cleanup Philadelphia has ever seen” and told everyone to participate to “clean up Philadelphia once and for all and then keep it clean.”

Nutter believes that a clean city would be a safer city, because when people care about their surroundings, they care about each other. This is part of the “broken windows” theory.

Residents can get involved by going to www.phillycleanup.com or just picking up some trash! The program has goals to recruit more than 10,000 volunteers and remove 1 million pounds of trash and litter from across the city.
