Our Story

It Started With a Letter

In December 2022, founder Bob Rogan wrote a letter to the Cornwall Local newspaper. He was tired of seeing trash along the beautiful roads of the Hudson Valley and wanted to do something about it.

On January 22, 2023, the first cleanup happened. What started as one person's frustration became a community movement. Today, the Hudson Valley Cleanup Crew meets every Sunday at 10am, rain or shine, with a growing crew of dedicated volunteers.

What Our Volunteers Say

"I brought my kids to their first cleanup and they absolutely loved it. Now they pick up litter wherever we go. HVCC has turned my family into environmental advocates."
