City-wide Community Clean Up continues – sign up today!

Now through October
More than 10,000 people have participated in this year’s city-wide litter clean up so far! More litter remains in our shared communities so we invite you to get involved by picking a location and date for your clean up. We’ve also launched a fun Litter League opportunity where you can help clean up Burlington while fundraising to grow local environmental impact.

Together we can make Burlington’s parks, streams, schoolyards, and neighbourhoods cleaner and greener!
