Boy George, 45, wore a fluorescent jacket, gloves and sunglasses and he had previously made a joke of the punishment by saying that he had "always been a scrubber".
Boy George was found guilty of wasting police time in an incident last year and was also threatened with jail if he failed to complete the court-imposed sentence.
Last October Boy George had called the police to his New York home and after a small amount of cocaine was found in his apartment the singer was arrested.
However, the drugs possession charge was dropped in March after Boy George pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of wasting police time.
Boy George ranted at the media representatives who had gathered and, at one point, swept a pile of leaves towards them.
"This is supposed to be community service," the singer said angrily.
"You're just making it a nightmare, which just means it's for the media and not for me," Boy George added.
