    2010 East Kensington Neighbors Association (EKNA) Cleanup Schedule

    Regular cleanups are scheduled for the second Saturday in each month or to coincide with Philadelphia More Beautiful cleanup days.  If you are unable to join the group effort, try to clean your block during that week.  Trash will be stored in the Emerald Street Park (Emerald between Dauphin and Arizona) Cleanups will begin at 10 AM.  EKNA will supply trash bags and some tools, we encourage you to bring gloves, brooms and rakes if you have them.   NO HOUSHOLD TRASH, BULK ITEMS OR TIRES.

    We have left several months OPEN to allow more flexibility in the schedule.  We may choose to work with other groups or respond to requests for help.  Any requests should be made at least one month prior to an open month in order to make announcements.
