Harlem Deserves Clean Streets

Be part of the Neat Streets movement keeping 125th Street clean. Take action, earn points, and win prizes for supporting Harlem.

#HarlemNeatStreets is a community-driven challenge designed to inspire pride in Harlem. Through social media, local ambassadors, fun challenges, and partnerships with neighborhood businesses, the challenge promotes cleanliness and enhances the streetscape for everyone.


By participating, residents and visitors contribute to a cleaner, safer, and more vibrant Harlem. 

Hello Harlem. I am Mia, and I joined the Harlem Neat Streets Challenge to help keep our neighborhood beautiful.

A cleaner Harlem means a safer and stronger community for all residents & visitors.

I took the Neat Streets Pledge, shared why it matters to me and committed to doing my part to help create a cleaner Harlem. I post photos and videos of my clean-up efforts on social media, tag @125thstreetbid, and use #HarlemNeatStreets to inspire friends and family to join.

We can all make Harlem shine and earn prizes while doing it! Click below, take the pledge, and join us today!
