The Town of New Tecumseth is inviting residents to get outside, get active, and have fun while participating in the annual Spring Clean-Up event.

This gives people the chance to pitch in and help clean up the town of all the litter left over from the winter months.

This cleanup is in support of Earth Day. Earth Day is a celebration that recognizes the success of the environmental movement while raising awareness of the need to protect Earth’s natural resources.

This year, Earth Day is Monday, April 22.

Residents can pitch in as individuals or get a team together to be part of the cleanup.

Arrangements can be made to pick up clear garbage bags and nitrile gloves, which are available to participants free of charge.

Supplies will be available for pickup approximately one week before your cleanup date.

For the week of April 7, supplies can be picked up from the New Tecumseth Recreation Centre (7300 Industrial Pkwy, Alliston), Tottenham Community & Fitness Centre (139 Queen St N, Tottenham) or Joint Operations Centre ( 6558 8 Line, Beeton).

The Town will also arrange to pick up collected waste when left at a pre-arranged site. 

There are many places you can choose to pick up litter.

These include schoolyards, neighbourhoods, parks, playgrounds, conservation areas, churchyards, cemeteries, trails, business areas, and sports fields.

To register, organizers will need your name, your group name (if applicable), the number of participants, your phone number, the number of bags and gloves needed, the location where you would like to clean up, and the proposed location of filled bags for collection.

To become involved, contact the Town Parks and Recreation department at parks@newtecumseth.ca, to request your supplies for additional information.
