Clean Brantford
Cleaning up litter is important to the health and vitality of the community and the Grand River. That’s why the City of Brantford is proud to be hosting the third annual community clean up in honour of Earth Day. On Sunday, April 21 and Monday, April 22, residents are encouraged to Clean our City by collecting litter in their neighbourhoods, along the trail networks and Grand River, and around the community.
To participate, individuals, neighbourhood associations, or groups will be required to pre-register online where they can specify their location of clean-up and supplies needed.
While we encourage residents to use their own reusable gloves, clean-up kits are available that include one large garbage bag, one large clear bag for recycling, a pair of gloves, and information on how to dispose of different materials. Clean up kits can be picked up at the Wayne Gretzky Sports Centre, 254 North Park Street, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. from Monday, April 15 until Sunday, April 21, 2024 and from City Hall Customer Service, 58 Dalhousie Street, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. from Monday, April 15 until Friday, April 19, 2024. The registration deadline is Friday, April 19 at 4:30 p.m.
Prizes will be randomly awarded to registered participants that submit a photo of their clean-up efforts. Prizes are offered for the following categories:
- Individuals
- Neighbourhood Associations
- Community groups, businesses, or other organizations
- Schools
You can leave your collected litter at the curbside with your regular garbage pick-up or if you are organizing a group clean-up, or collect a large amount of litter, you can bring your garbage to the designated disposal locations as indicated below on Sunday, April 21 and Monday, April 22 between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. where City of Brantford staff will dispose of it for you:
