Mayor, Coucillors and Volunteers Giveaway Litterbags

Posted: Sep. 22, 2007 Under: Halton Hills Permanent Link to this Article

On Wednesday September 26th the Mayor and Councillors of the Town of Halton Hills will be giving away free litterbags at Tim Horton’s drive-thru windows in Georgetown and Acton. This is the third time that the Litter Free Halton Hills Task Force has organized a litterbag giveaway as a means of reducing litter on our streets and rural roads.

“This Giveaway was very well received the past 2 years once people realized we weren’t trying to sell them something.” said Task Force Chair Councillor Jane Fogal.

“The idea of giving the litterbag to people right at the drive-thru gets the bag directly into the car. It makes the point that we don’t want to see stuff flying out the window 10 minutes after they leave the drive-thru.” said Helen MacCormack, a Chamber of Commerce volunteer on the Task Force.

“Councillors and volunteers are out to show the public that littering is an important issue but we need everyone’s help to fix it.” said Mayor Bonnette.

The volunteers will be handing out the litterbags during the morning rush hour.

The Litter Free Halton Hills Task Force is made up of community volunteers, members of the Chamber of Commerce, council members and town staff.
