The Regional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO) is getting ready for Community Clean-Up Month.
It supports residents with gloves and bags for neighbourhood clean-ups, and the RDCO arranges trash collection after the event.
鈥淐ommunity clean-ups are a simple way to give back and make a big difference in your neighbourhood,鈥� said Cynthia Coates, supervisor of solid waste services. 鈥淧ick a project, choose an area to beautify, gather your group and enjoy some fresh air while making a positive impact.鈥�
One group participating in Community Clean Up this year, as well as Earth Day on April 22, is from McKinley Landing.
鈥淭he spring clean-up is easy to register for and participate in, and we love that the garbage is picked up the next day,鈥� said event organizer Corie Chambers. 鈥淲e encourage everyone to consider organizing their own neighbourhood clean-up.鈥�
Other groups and organizations that have signed up include the North Westside Residents Association, the Rutland Neighbourhood Association and a number of private individuals.
Community Clean-Up begins April 1. To register your group or arrange for supplies, visit the RDCO website or email recycle@rdco.com or call 250-469-6250.
