TIPS:
Start your day by wearing bright jacket or t-shirt for visibility. Limited supplies of bright vests are at some of the larger centres.
Bring a water bottle. Water bottles are also available at the pick-up locations.
Arrive at your selected location between 9 am -10 am to pick up supplies.
You may clean up an area of your choosing. Bags and gloves are available. Limited supply of grabber tools are available at some of the larger centres.
If you have any youth in your clean up team, stay away from moving traffic areas.
Do not pick up sharps. Report their location by calling 311. Also report any illegal dumping sites to 311.
We have yellow bags at the pick-up sites. These are for litter clean ups. (Do not use them for household garbage).
Leave filled bags curbside in areas where municipal trucks can easily pick them up: NOT along 100-series highways or on-ramps/off-ramps. These areas are not Solid Waste serviced areas. If you have the ability to do so, like a pick-up truck or trailer, you can transport your bags back to your starting location. Call or email 311 to report the location of your bags.
