Here’s a challenge: One April 22, find one hour to pick up garbage- in your neighbourhood, near your workplace, along a major traffic corridor, etc.

Grab your partner, kids, a neighbour or friend and see how much garbage you can pick up by splitting up an hour.

Example: For 4 of you, spend 15 mins picking up trash. That’s a total of 60 mins or 1 hour!

As we know, what seems like a small individual effort can lead to a large collective impact.

Because of you, we did a thing.

Together, we picked up over 20 bags of garbage and cleaned up a part of our city.

As you know, our work isn’t done. In fact, it’s just begun.

We’ll see you May 3.

Bring yourself. Your family. Your pup. A friend.

Here’s a City of Edmonton Guide for Residents on garbage collection. For example, did you know that garbage bags in the garbage receptacle are optional?
