Spring Clean, dubbed Seattle's community clean-up event, starts April 4 and runs through May 30 this year.

The event, in its 23rd year, is part of Mayor Greg Nickels' Clean and Green Seattle Initiative. Spring Clean provides opportunities for citizens to clean up Seattle's public open spaces of their choice with city support.

Typical projects include litter pick-ups, storm drain stenciling, graffiti paint-outs and invasive plant removal. City support involves planning assistance, tools, gloves, safety vests, disposal bags, transfer station passes and waste pick ups.
