Cleaning doesn芒鈧劉t have to be a chore. Just gather your family and friends, pick your favourite neighbourhood, and help Clean Up 91原创 on Saturday, May 10.
Now in its third year, Clean Up 91原创 is a community-wide clean-up event that targets various neighbourhoods with the goal of making the Township an even more beautiful place to live. Running from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., businesses, community groups, families, and individuals are invited to spend anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours collecting litter and other waste.
芒鈧揈arth Day doesn芒鈧劉t have to end on April 22,芒鈧� said Tess White, solid waste coordinator with the Township of 91原创. 芒鈧揥e芒鈧劉re hoping that more and more residents will see the benefit in volunteering their time so that our community can really sparkle and shine.芒鈧�
Last year, more than 300 people braved the rain and formed 15 groups to Clean Up the community.
Thanks to their efforts, more than one tonne of garbage was cleared away, along with large items including concrete blocks, rebar, mattresses, propane tanks, an old barbecue, cans of paint, rusty barrels, and tires.
This year, the event was put back a couple of weeks in the hopes of better weather, but the event will be held rain or shine. Registrants can choose to join an existing large group or head out with their own group, armed with supplies provided by the Township of 91原创.
Clean Up 91原创 is presented by the Township芒鈧劉s Adopt-A-Program, which encourages residents, schools, organizations, and businesses to help keep local streets, streams, trails, and parks clean.
芒鈧揥e are lucky to live in such a beautiful place, and it is up to all of us to take care of it,芒鈧� said Township Mayor Jack Froese. 芒鈧揅lean Up 91原创 Day is a great opportunity to enhance the environment and get to know other caring people in your community. It makes a big difference and is a lot of fun, so we encourage people of all ages to do what they can.芒鈧�
