Community Clean-Up

Hosted by BurlingtonGreen and sponsored by the City of Burlington, this event provides an important (and fun!) opportunity for citizens, schools, businesses, neighbourhoods and community groups to come together to clean up Burlington.
To date, more than 90,000 participants have joined the collective clean up effort resulting in cleaner parks, streams, schoolyards and neighbourhoods.
Download the poster to help promote this event. A legal-sized poster with a blank section for you to record your own clean-up event details is also available here.
Registration is now available at burlingtongreen.org/news/1365-cugu-registration-2019.
