Residents of all ages are invited to join the City’s annual Cleaning the Capital Spring Campaign that runs from April 15 to May 15, 2010. Cleaning the Capital is a great opportunity for high school students to add to their Community Involvement Program volunteer hours and for families and friends to work together on community cleanup projects that help make Ottawa clean, green, graffiti-free, and litter-free.
Registration is quick and easy. Start by selecting a cleanup location; it can be a park, woodlot, ravine, shoreline, bus stop, pathway or any public area requiring tidying up after the winter months. Projects can include litter pickup or graffiti removal. Register your cleanup project online at ottawa.ca/clean or by calling 3-1-1
(TTY: 613-580-2401). Cleanup Starter Kits for litter pickup and/or graffiti removal projects are available to all registered volunteers upon request. Litter Pickup Starter Kits include disposable vinyl gloves, garbage bags and leaf-and-yard waste bags. Graffiti Removal Starter Kits include graffiti removal wipes, masks and gloves. All kits come with helpful project and safety information to guide your cleanup project.
Register your cleanup project on or before April 14 to be eligible to win early bird prizes. Registration continues until May 15. Cleaning the Capital volunteers who submit their on-line Cleanup Reports by May 31 are also eligible to win one of many prizes donated by our generous sponsors.
Entire communities – including schools, neighbourhood organizations and associations, businesses, families, friends and individuals take up the Cleaning the Capital challenge each year. A record 87,400 participants made Cleaning the Capital 2009 the most successful campaign to date! With your help, Cleaning the Capital can be bigger and better in 2010!
