Earth Day is celebrated annually on April 22 to create awareness about the environment and how we can take action to protect the earth.
In April, individuals, families, community groups and organizations are encouraged to participate in an Earth Day Litter Clean Up to pick up litter from roadsides and public places in Selwyn Township.
How to Participate
Individuals, families, community groups and organizations register their Litter Clean Up Day with Selwyn Township by completing the Registration Form at the bottom of this page. On this form, you will indicate the number of clear bags and the number of pairs of gloves you and/or your group require. Participants will be provided with clear bags for garbage and recycling, nitrile gloves, and a landfill pass to dispose of the collected litter.
Supplies will be available for pick up at the Township Office (1310 Centre Line).
Thank you Swish Maintenance for the generous donation of garbage bags and gloves to support this initiative.
