30 Sep Keep it clean and stay green Brampton!
2011 Harvest Cleanup Time (starts October 1st – 31st)
What a fun-filled summer we have had this year. There’s no doubt that our Brampton parks and recreational facilities could use some clean up and T.L.C.! Brampton Clean City’s annual Harvest Cleanup Campaign encourages all of us to do our part for the environment by registering families, schools, community groups, individuals, businesses and neighbourhoods to cleanup in a green space of choice. Cleanups can be big or small – and can even include ravines, walkways, trails, boulevards, school yards, parking lots, sports fields, woodlots and more! For more information about the 2011 Harvest Cleanup Campaign and events, please visit the www.brampton.ca or call the Brampton Clean City office at (905) 874-2828.
