Hate litter? Join Gentile’s cleanup campaign
Homeowners do their spring cleaning this time of year, so why shouldn’t Brooklyn residents do the same for their sidewalks?
For Councilman Vincent Gentile, the answer is why not, indeed. Gentile (D-Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-Bensonhurst) is organizing two community cleanup campaigns in different areas of his council district.
On Saturday, May 11, Gentile is joining forced with Assemblyman Bill Colton (D-Gravesend-Bensonhurst) and Community Board 11 leaders to spruce up Bensonhurst. Volunteers are asked to meet on the corner of 18th Avenue and 81st Street at 10 a.m. Participants will be asked to sweep litter, among other tasks.
