Litter ranges from candy wrappers and beverage containers to cigarette butts and unwanted appliances. It accumulates on our streets, parks, streams, ravines, and the countryside. Weather plays a big role. When it is windy, waste placed at the curbside for collection can get blown throughout the neighbourhood.
Sometimes litter is dumped intentionally. If you witness someone dumping garbage on city property, please contact Service Burlington at 905-335-7777.
