Lincoln Drive Closing For Litter Clean Up March 26

PHILADELPHIA — Lincoln Drive is closing the morning of March 26 for a major litter cleanup event.

Friends of the Wissahickon and Philadelphia Parks & Recreation are closing a large portion of the road for a cleanup event later this month.

More than 100 volunteers are on board to help clear trash along Lincoln Drive from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, March 26.

The cleanup will take place between Wissahickon and Ridge avenues.

Volunteers must pre-register and sign a volunteer agreement here.

The event is FOW’s rescheduled MLK Day of Service event, which was postponed due to weather.

Volunteers will start from one of two meeting locations located at either end of the cleanup area — Historic Rittenhouse Town and the Philadelphia Canoe Club — and work toward each other on Lincoln Drive. Gloves, trash bags, trash grabbers, and instruction will be provided.
