The 5th Annual Clean-up and Picnic event held on the weekend in A.H. Browne Park at Avenue D and 37th St W was a big success! A big thank you to the many people who helped out, about 78! Lots of familiar faces who come out every year, and many new ones.
– The amount of waste removed that day was 3,950 kilograms (a 30 cubic yard roll-off bin was emptied 2 times in total with waste).
– 61 tires were collected and taken to A1 tire for recycling.
– A few needles found were disposed of properly.
– Many jugs and containers of oil were taken to the oil recovery centre at the landfill for recycling.
