Spot-On East Side

Our neighborhood.
Let's take care of it.

Spot-On East Side is a volunteer group of neighbors helping to keep our streets clean and cared for.

Join us

We start with litter.

We're a group of Upper East Side neighbors who are willing to show up on a few mornings (or evenings), pick up litter, and get to know the people who live and work around us. No experience needed — just an interest in our neighborhood and an hour or two to spare.

Starting now
Litter cleanup

Morning or evening walks. Supplies provided. Coffee or bubble tea after.

Future potential
Tree pit care

Adopting street tree pits — planting, mulching, and watering to green our blocks.

Down the road
Beautification

Working with NYC Parks and local partners on longer-term streetscape improvements.

60th to 70th Street,
York Avenue to 3rd Avenue.

Our focus is on these thirty blocks — a walkable, residential stretch of the Upper East Side that we're committed to making cleaner and greener, block by block.
