Three Goals of the Clean Up and SAFETY is the #1 issue

March 29th, 2013

Clean up Oakville’s trails, parks and waterways with your family, friends and neighbours this Earth Week!

Three goals:

1. To promote awareness and respect for local nature and waterways.

2. To beautify the natural environment.

3. To build community and encourage environmental activism. The Clean Up seeks to improve people’s health and protect wildlife.

Safety is the #1 issue
at the community wide clean up

* Always have safety on your mind when doing the clean up.
* We provide work gloves although you can bring your own.
* Garbage bags are provided by Pitch-In Canada and the Town.
* Wear work boots.
* Consider bringing a rake, wheelbarrow, broom or shovel.
* Children should not pick up dangerous items like broken glass, discarded needles or jagged metal;
ask an adult volunteer to properly dispose of it.
* Do not carry heavy or bulky items by yourself.
* Do not clean up along the sides of roads or around parked cars.

THANK YOU FOR VOLUNTEERING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT!
