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, contact the City's Roads, Parks and Forestry Department at 905-333-6166.
Community Clean-up Events
Due to COVID-19, the City of Burlington is unable to support community clean-up events.
If you wish to conduct a cleanup in your neighbourhood please coordinate disposal on your regular garbage pick-up day. Alternatively, residents can drop off their garbage at the Halton Waste Management Site.
