Registration is open from March 21 at 8 a.m. until April 15 at 4 p.m.

On Saturday, April 23, the City of Guelph is hosting its 13th annual Guelph Clean and Green Community Cleanup—one of the city’s largest community environmental cleanup events.

This is your opportunity to spend a few hours “spring cleaning” your neighbourhood by joining others to pick up litter along Guelph’s streets, green spaces, and community parks.

Last year, more than 750 people participated and picked up more than 3,000 kilograms of litter. It is true that when we work together, we can make a big difference.

The 2016 cleanup is open to everyone: individuals, teams, and neighbourhood and community groups. Participating high school students can earn credit towards their community involvement hours. Students must ask the crew leader to sign the required form.

Participants will be provided with cleanup kits, including safety vests for teams picking up litter along busy roads.

Cleanup kits can be picked up from the Park Operations and Forestry administrative office, located at 50 Municipal Street, between April 20 and 22.

Following the cleanup and to celebrate, there will be a free barbecue lunch at Riverside Park.
