clean-ups
Post-disaster restoration efforts
Clean-ups is the plural of clean-up, referring to multiple acts of cleaning, tidying, or removing unwanted material.
Environmental clean-ups address pollution at contaminated sites.
In baseball, the clean-up hitter bats fourth, positioned to drive in runners—multiple such batters across games are clean-ups.
The city scheduled several clean-ups after the flood.
