River North is a unique and wonderful neighborhood with miles of riverfront, historic architecture, world class dining and a thriving nightlife.

River North Clean Streets is a non-profit created and jointly managed by the local Resident and Business Associations. RNCS has arranged for a wonderful organization called Cleanslate Chicago to tidy up our neighborhood on Saturday and Sunday mornings. In their bright yellow vests, the friendly, well-trained Cleanslate crews pick up tons of garbage and recyclable materials, leaving our community cleaner, safer and healthier.
