Spring Clean Up 2025

Thank you for pitching in!

Thanks to everyone who volunteered for the Spring Clean Up on April 27 to help beautify our community! There were over 90 teams that participated representing more than 2200 people. In total, we worked together to remove 5,830 kilograms of litter from our parks, trails, and streets. 

Event information

• 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.
