Available from May to October, participating Rocky View County communities or groups, can receive supplies, like bags and gloves. The County can also help communities with litter pick-up safety tips and advertising.
Following the event, communities can bring full orange litter bags to a designated County transfer site for disposal at no cost. Alternatively, advanced arrangements can be made for the County to pick up and transport litter bags to a transfer site.
Sign your community or group up, or for more information, please contact the Solid Waste and Recycling group at wasteandrecycling@rockyview.ca or call 403-230-1401.
