Community Litter Clean-Up Program

Our Community Litter Clean-Up Program offers an incentive to individuals and non-profit groups to clean litter from the ditches along the roads authorized by Nova Scotia Department of Public Works and the Municipality.

The incentive is $150 per kilometer for regular clean-up and $200 per kilometer for heavily littered and difficult areas to reach. Eligible areas are determined by the Community Litter Co-ordinator

This program is open from April-June and is offered under the framework provided in Policy 89 Community Litter Clean-Up Program Policy. A copy of the policy can be found here.

A maximum of 100 kilometers of the Municipality is cleaned per year which is distributed equally among districts, as much as possible.
