“We know these last few years have been difficult and that an enforced cleanup can be costly. The community safety and enforcement department came up with the idea of community clean up days to help the community dispose of debris around their property, for free,” said Sherry Hanson, manager of by-law services.
PORTicipating in an upcoming clean community day can be done in three steps:
Step 1: Pick up the refuse, garbage, and debris around your property.
Step 2: Load it into a wheelbarrow, trunk, or trailer.
Step 3: Dispose of it at one of the clean community days.
Items allowed include broken furniture, mattresses, water damaged books and magazines, broken toys, broken lawn ornaments, broken plastic pails and containers, cushions and old lawn chairs, even the kitchen sink!
Items not allowed include regular household garbage, yard waste, recycling, and organics, propane tanks, ammunition, leftover paint, paint cans, paint thinners, stains or varnish, household cleaning products, batteries and electronics, pesticides and fertilizers, freon refrigerators and freezers, and textiles.
“This event is part of an overall clean community project that the department has spearheaded,” said Scott Lawson, fire chief. “Clean properties contribute to pride in our community and promote a sense of belonging”.
