Spring Clean-up looking for volunteers

With warmer weather approaching, and the snow all gone, many places in New Tecumseth have been left with litter strewn about.
It is unsightly and unhealthy to have ditches, roadways, parks, and green spaces, covered with garbage that was carelessly tossed from cars, trucks, and people walking down the street.
To help clean up the mess, the Town of New Tecumseth is hosting a Spring Clean-Up event. The Town is looking for volunteers to do their part in cleaning up their community.
The event will take place from April 14 to April 28.
Taking part is easy. First, you can choose a clean-up location.
This could be an area near your home, a park, or just a street that needs some attention.
Once you have a location, contact the Town Parks office to register your clean-up area and arrange pick-up of your free supplies.
You can do the job on your own or as a family or a group of friends who have pride in the town and want it to look its best.
After you finish cleaning up your chosen area, Parks staff will pick up the collected waste at the pre-arranged site.
It doesn’t take long to clean up an area, and this is a great way to volunteer, doing some good, while making the Town a cleaner place to live, work, and play.
