Roughly 60% of the Bronx is covered by impervious surfacesโ€”like roads, sidewalks, and buildings that prevent rainwater from soaking into the ground. Green infrastructure creates spaces where stormwater can soak into the soil and pollutants can be filtered out, helping reduce runoff and protect water quality.โฃ
โฃ
The benefits go beyond stormwater! These spaces also help cool our neighborhoods, clean the air, support native plants and wildlife, and improve community health and well-being.โฃ
โฃ
Rain gardens and other green infrastructure need regular care to keep delivering these benefits. Help us steward these essential spaces! ๐Ÿ’šโฃ

Trash can travel from our streets to the Bronx Riverโ€”and all the way to the ocean. You can help stop it. ๐Ÿ’ง

Floating trash pollutes waterways and harms wildlife. Trash booms help catch it before it travels farther, reducing the debris that can reach Long Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean.

These floating barriers capture trash at the waterโ€™s surface, while an underwater skirt catches debris just below. A weighted chain keeps the skirt in position, with space underneath for aquatic life to pass through.

There are four trash booms along the Bronx River: in White Plains, Tuckahoe, Muskrat Cove, and Concrete Plant Park.

At Concrete Plant Park, the NYC Department of Environmental Protection manages the boom and routinely removes captured trash using a skimmer vesselโ€”a specialized boat that collects plastic waste and other debris with equipment such as conveyor belts and nets.

You can help keep trash from reaching the river in the first place:

๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ Secure your trash so loose items canโ€™t blow or wash away.
๐Ÿฅค Choose reusable cups, bottles, and containers whenever possible.
๐Ÿค Join a local cleanup to help remove litter before it travels downstream.

Visit Concrete Plant Park to see the trash boom in person, and share this video to help more neighbors take action. Every piece kept out of the river matters.
