Upcoming Cleanups
OCS Encourages Everyone to Get Involved!
Organized Cleanups: OCS encourages everyone to get involved. Leading by example, we hope to teach behaviors that will result in helping to create a cleaner, safer environment for generations. Operation Clean Sweep organizes a series of cleanups throughout the city from April – September. It is only possible with the help of hundreds of civic minded volunteers and the support of City Services and neighborhood businesses.
With the support of city resources. we are creating a cleaner, prouder New Bedford.
