the cleanerNYC eco-label
A simple way for local businesses to show their commitment
to cleaner streets and stronger neighborhoods
The CleanerNYC Eco-Label is a community-based recognition program for local businesses that take responsibility for the area directly around their storefront and commit to helping keep their block clean.
Participating businesses make a simple commitment: keep the sidewalk and immediate area around their storefront clean and properly manage the waste generated by their business.
In return, CleanerNYC provides a visible label that businesses can display to show customers and neighbors that they are actively contributing to a cleaner neighborhood.
The goal is not to create another complicated certification program. It is to encourage simple, visible and consistent local responsibility.
