Organize a 
Clean Up 
today!

Community Clean Up is a wonderful eco-action opportunity for everyone in Burlington to get involved! Since we began hosting this city-wide event in 2011, more than 134,000 participants have joined this collective effort resulting in cleaner parks, streams, schoolyards and neighbourhoods.

This year we aim to see 12,000 people participate! Everyone in Burlington is invited to organize a clean up and register it with us so we can track, measure and share the impact we have achieved, together.

Free supplies are available (bags and gloves and a clean up tips sheet), and by sharing your clean up information with us, you’ll be part of an impactful collective experience.  Your clean up will also be posted on our Community Clean Up map so everyone can learn which areas of Burlington are being cleaned up of litter, throughout the year.

You can also learn about the Litter League Fundraising Challenge, and the nationwide Butt Blitz further below.

Watch the video to learn the easy steps to participate and click on the tabbed headings below for important details before you register your clean up.
