Anti-litter and Community Safety Initiatives
Don't be a Litterbug!
The Town of Milton encourages residents as well as employees working in the community to eliminate litter to preserve and enhance Milton's natural beauty. With your help, we can ensure your outdoor experiences in the community are positive in keeping with the Town's goal of a "safe, livable and healthy community."
Clean and Safe Community
To honour Earth Week on April 22, during the months of April and May, the Town of Milton is encouraging residents, students and employees to participate in community clean-up days or take the initiative to do their own clean-up. Although the Town won't be organizing the Milton Makeover this year, free gloves and garbage bags will still be available at Town facilities, while supplies last, for those who wish to participate in their own clean-up initiatives. Special garbage pick-up is not being offered for clean-up initiatives. For more information, please call 905-878-7252, ext. 2500.
Good Neighbours Community Day
Teams of volunteers spent a few hours in early May 2012 helping senior citizens or individuals by completing simple tasks. Jobs included washing windows, painting a room, helping with yard work or participating in clean-up activities of waterways, parks or roadsides in Milton.
For more information, call Len Lee at 905-878-4085.
