Spring Clean Up 2025

Prince George residents are invited to pitch in with their friends and neighbours to give the city an old- fashioned post-winter tidying during the Annual Spring Clean Up!  We are excited to have you work alongside friends and neighbours on Sunday, April 27, 2025 to pick up litter in our parks, school yards, and along streets and trails. 

Event information

• Event Map for bin locations and volunteer clean-up routes.
• Register online before Thursday, April 24th at 12 pm.
• Pick up your gear from April 14th to 25th, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the City Hall Service Centre. Bags and gloves are available for all participants and a limited number of sharps containers will be available upon request.  
• You can start your clean up route as early as 9 a.m. Bins will be available by 10 a.m.
• There are six bins located around the city for your collected garbage. The bins are for Spring Clean Up participants only and should not be used for personal, household, or construction garbage. If the supplied bins are full or you can't bring your bags to the landfill, contact us at 250-613-7424 to let us know where to pick up your collected garbage.
• Sharps containers can be dropped off at the Northern Health’s Harm Reduction Clinic at 277 George Street. Read the Northern Health Safe Disposal Guide.
• If you are leaving garbage bags outside of the bins, leave space on all sides of the bins to ensure the waste management trucks can access them.
• Garden and yard waste can be taken to the Foothills Landfill or the Quinn Street/Vanway Transfer & Recycle Stations free of charge.
• Do not throw away household hazardous waste, electronics, or yard and garden trimmings in City bins. You may discard these at:
  • The PG Recycling and Return-It Centre (for electronics)
  • Landfills and transfer stations (for other waste)
