Community Litter
Clean-Ups
The
Annual Community Litter Clean-Ups
& Fundraiser Opportunities for Mission
Non-Profits
With
the encouragement and financial support
of The District of Mission and as a part
of our on-going Anti-Litter Campaign, to
educate and raise awareness to the
litter problems in our city, Mission
Adopt-A-Block invites all Mission
non-profits to participate in our
Annual Spring & Fall Clean-Up
events. Both events entail the
acceptance of eight (8) non-profit
groups to participate in a community
wide litter clean-up for the
remuneration of $250 upon
completion of assigned route.
Participating groups are responsible for
the cleaning up of litter on public
walkways, curbs, public green spaces,
ditches, etc. on their assigned route,
while Mission Adopt-A-Block supplies
litter control equipment and oversees
the removal of the collected “litter”
garbage bags.
These
community litter clean-up events are a
great opportunity for Mission non-profit
organizations to raise funds to support
their program and all Mission
non-profits groups are welcome to apply
to be both Spring & Fall Clean-Up
participants to receive these funds.
What is more, involvement in a community
litter clean-up is an excellent
opportunity to cultivate environmental
social responsibility and to participate
in a very rewarding community project
that benefits all citizens and aspects
of Mission.

The Mission Adopt-A-Block
Society
is
available to help
coordinate a large group
clean-up with your
organization, school or
community group. Group clean-ups
can be scheduled for
Saturdays throughout the
calendar year,
rain or
shine. Group sizes
should be a minimum of
10 individuals to a
maximum of 25. Preferences for clean-up
route & times can be
arranged with the
coordinator
*Due
to safety reasons, no one under the age
of ten can participate.
We provide the equipment to
undergo the clean-up and
help group coordinators
select a route. We give
the information needed to
coordinators: how to
undertake a
successful
clean-up, give an
important litter safety
talk to your group
before commencing, and take care
of the removal of
“litter” garbage bags.
While clean-ups can be
scheduled throughout the
calendar year, please
allow a month in
planning time for your
preferred
guarantee date (as other community
activities may fall on a
Saturday). Time must
be given to investigate
litter route, recruit
volunteers and obtain
all the necessary
information to conduct a
successful clean-up.
