Mayor Eric Adams announced $32 million of the city budget will go toward new efforts in keeping New York City parks clean.
The funds will help add more cleaning staff during evening and weekend shifts across dozens of parks.
“We have added a second cleaning shift to 100 new hot spots across 64 parks, nearly double number of parks that received this intensive cleaning,” Adams said.
The effort will bring the total number of cleaning shifts to 200 at 121 parks. Parks will be cleaned each afternoon between Thursday and Monday.
Funding will also go toward cleaning up green litter baskets on sidewalks.
