The City of Guelph, Ontario, has opened registration for its annual Clean and Green campaign, inviting residents to help pick up litter in local parks and trails throughout April 2026. This initiative asks individuals, families, and community groups to sign up by March 23 to remove trash that has built up in public areas during the winter months.
By spreading the effort across the entire month of April, the city is making it easier for more people to participate on their own time. Residents can choose to organize their own neighbourhood cleanup or join an existing group to beautify local streets and forest paths.
Participants can register through the city website to coordinate their efforts and receive supplies for their cleanup, including garbage bags and gloves. This coordination helps local staff manage the collection of waste that volunteers gather from public spaces across the community.
For those who cannot participate during April, the city offers cleanup kits for residents to use at any time of year. These kits allow volunteers to continue keeping the community tidy well beyond the formal spring season.
