Clean and Green Committee
The Clean and Green Committee is focused on providing the residents of the Newbold area with connections to city resources to help make your blocks cleaner and greener! If you're a block captain or just someone interested in helping out, get in touch to find out how we can work together and how we can help you. We have also focused on our partnerships with the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS),Neighborhood Gardens Association (NGA), and other neighborhood groups to expand the amount of green space in our community.
Our big events are the biannual tree plantings run as part of the TreeVitalize program with PHS. We also have created a thriving neighborhood garden at Reed & Bouvier Sts. in partnership with NGA.
We hold monthly meetings on the first Monday of each month at 6:30pm at Ultimo Coffee on 15th and Mifflin Sts. Check the events calendar for updates or changes to the schedule.
We can help with
- Access to cleaning supplies for the cleanup dates listed above, including brooms, bags, gloves, and trash pickup coordination through the city
- Coordinating with 311, other city agencies, and our Town Watch committee to report and track trash problems and nuisance properties
Our goals as a group are
- To increase accessible green space around the neighborhood
- To reduce rain water runoff problems by planting trees
- To educate community members about the benefits of keeping your neighborhood clean and green
