How you can Pitch-in anytime during Earth Week!
Pitch-in to support the Town wide community cleanup program. This program provides all the tools you need to run a cleanup including gloves, masks, recycling bags and specially marked garbage bags.
The program helps keep public places in your neighbourhood clean and safe for everyone. You can host a cleanup event on Town property including:
- Parks
- Trails
- Streets
- Parking lots
Choose a location
Select an area where you've noticed a lot of litter. Here are some location ideas for your cleanup:
- Neighbourhood streets
- Vacant lots or parking lots (ensure you have the owners permission)
- Parks, trails or play areas
- We discourage cleanups near busy streets due to safety concerns.
Before you begin:
- Assess the area, look out for hazards and potential dangers
- Be prepared, be safe, bring proper safety equipment and tools
- Be sure to have enough supervisors in your group
- Be prepared to sort items for garbage and recycling
- Arrange disposal
During your clean up:
- Supervise participants closely, do not let children go off alone
- do not pick up dangerous items
- watch for cars and be careful near roads
- Don't carry heavy items alone
- Wash your hands for 20 seconds
