The Provincial Day of Action on Litter is celebrated on the second Tuesday of May each year in Ontario to encourage people to reduce waste and take action to keep the environment clean. The Provincial Day of Action on Litter will be celebrated on May 13, 2025.
From May 13 to May 17, community groups and individuals are encouraged to participate in a Litter Clean Up to pick up litter from roadsides and public places in Selwyn Township.
How to Participate
