Your Project
Plan it
- Pick your project site, your cleanup date (rain date too!), and time.
- Promote your project and gather your project team.
- Be sure to plan ahead for the proper disposal of compost, garbage, recycling and any other hazardous items you may collect. Please review Important Project and Safety Information for more details.
- Cleaning the Capital is an ideal way for neighbours, family and friends to work together and clean up their neighbourhood.
Register
- Fill out the online registration form to register your project. If you need supplies, remember to request your cleanup starter kit and select your desired pick-up location while registering.
The importance of registering: If you're cleaning up your neighbourhood or favourite green space, please register with us. People are encouraged to register in order to allow Cleaning the Capital organizers to distribute cleaning supplies, track the areas that have been cleaned and recognize volunteer work.
Complete your project!
- If you requested a cleanup starter kit, remember to pick it up from your chosen pick-up facility. If you have questions about your cleanup kit, please contact cleaning@ottawa.ca(link opens email application).
