King’s annual Community Clean-up happens the weekend of April 20-21
As part of Earth Week celebrations, King Township is inviting residents to participate in the annual King Community Clean-Up on April 20 and 21. This event encourages community members to take pride in their surroundings by helping to pick up litter and maintain the beauty of King’s parks, streets, ditches and neighbourhoods.
Getting involved is simple. Residents can select a public space to clean up, invite friends, family and neighbours to join them, and register their location to receive clean-up supplies. Those who do not have a clean-up location can join organized clean-ups at Tasca Park in Nobleton, Memorial Park in King City and Dufferin Marsh in Schomberg on Saturday, Apr. 20 between 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.
Once the clean-up is complete, participants can drop off their garbage bags at designated locations, including the King City Arena, Nobleton Arena and Trisan Centre. For larger clean-up groups requiring garbage pick-up, arrangements can be made by contacting environmentalstewardship@king.ca or calling 905-833-6555.
Clean up kits will include disposable gloves, garbage and recycling bags, safety instructions and information on garbage drop off and pick up locations. The event is also partnered with the King Township Public Library (KTPL). All branches of KTPL are now acting as “hub locations” during regular library hours for participants to pick up supplies until Sunday, Apr. 21.
To register, visit townshipofking.perfectmind.com and use code 17343. For full event details, including clean-up kit pick-up locations, dates and times, visit king.ca/communitycleanup.
