Spring Cleaning the Capital is an annual campaign to reduce litter in the City of Ottawa. Residents from all communities are invited to participate. Clean up around your home, business, school or somewhere in the community and help keep Ottawa clean and green.
Register before May 31 by completing the registration form or call us at 580-2424, extension 28899. We'll help you by providing clean-up supplies, helpful hints and picking up your collected litter where required.

Here's how you can take part:

Cleaning up the property around your house will encourage your neighbors to do the same. Before you know it, your whole street will be spotless!
Please note that all garbage that is picked-up on your private property will be collected on your regular garbage day.
Clean up your community
Organize a group project to clean up an area in your community. Pick a park, bus stop, pathway or any other area you care about and see how fun and satisfying it is to work with friends to make your community cleaner and greener!
At school
Schools have organized some of our biggest and best clean-up projects over the past few years! Clean-up projects can be a fun and cooperative way to learn about the importance of a clean and safe environment.
