* Safety first!
* Safety is our primary concern. Do not pick up any dangerous items like broken glass, discarded needles, etc.
* Assess your site for any possible hazards. Youth are NOT encouraged to clean up along roadsides, highways or around parked cars. DO NOT carry heavy or bulky items. Wear work boots. WASH YOUR HANDS thoroughly before eating and at the conclusion of the project.
* We provide work gloves, Sobeys grocery bags and “Pitch-In Canada” garbage bags. Please bring your own rake, broom, shovel and pickup stick.
* It is very important that everyone take action to clean up Oakville’s beautiful green spaces. This collective spring-cleaning of nature sites takes place so that everyone can enjoy them free of litter this spring and summer.
* The environment is everyone’s responsibility and we all can do much more to better protect it.
* Volunteer, sign-up on the day and win a bicycle helmet!
* All volunteers must complete a short “registration form”.    * Coordinators staff locations from 9 AM to 11 AM.
* Please bring your own snacks and refreshments with you as we want to reduce the amount of waste generated.
* Before the event, please be sure to take the time to ask your family, friends and neighbours to join you. It’s that easy!

* After the clean up, carpool or take Bus #28 to the Glen Abbey Recreation Centre on Third Line just south of Upper Middle Road to attend the FREE eighth annual HALTON ECO FESTIVAL to 6 PM.
