In recognition of Earth Day, the New York Department of Transportation is participating in a statewide "trash blitz" Friday.

Crews will be found in local communities to help beautify areas, including downtown Syracuse, and protect the environment.

They plan to pick up trash and litter in areas that impact the surrounding habitat and present a safety issue.
