Pick Up Trash

On Saturday April 18th the annual mobilization of hundreds of individuals and organizations will hit the streets, parks, trails, vacant lots, and rural roads stuffing garbage bags with the accumulated trash revealed by the melting winter snows.

Everyone is encouraged to think of a particular part of town that is important to them personally. It may be your own road or perhaps a neighbourhood park or ravine. The town does not have the staff available to clean up all of these areas and we are reliant on volunteers to take an hour or two out of their busy schedules to make a difference we can all appreciate. Families are particularly encouraged to volunteer as everyone regardless of age can make a valuable contribution to the town.

Many locations already have leaders who will be on-site with bags and gloves. Please call the Infrastructure Services- Public Works Division to find clean up sites or to register the location you have chosen. Arrangements can also be made for the town to pick up the collected litter at (905) 873 2601 ext 2610. Those wishing to drop off the collected litter can take it to the Works Yard on Trafalgar Road and leave it in the designated area.

High School students are reminded that they can use their community clean up hours towards their volunteer requirements if their time can be verified.

Free garbage bags and gloves are available for participants at the Robert C Austin Operations Centre, Acton Arena, or McDonald’s Restaurants in Georgetown and Acton. The Town of Halton Hills would like to thank Superior Glove, Tim Horton’s and McDonald’s for once again sponsoring this clean up event.

The Rain Date for Community Clean Up Day is Saturday April 25h.
