London Clean & Green 2010 Registration Information Clean Up Registration Form Clean Up Report Form

April 17th is the day when thousands of Londoners will work together to help "clean & green" our city's neighbourhoods and parks and the Thames River. We will pick up litter, remove graffiti and plant trees. Numerous designated meeting sites have been identified where volunteers can register, receive information and instruction, and get equipped with garbage bags. Other locations can be added anywhere in the city by registering through this website and students can earn community service hours as part of their high school commitment. Please join us! When you do, you can be proud of being part of a growing trend of April clean up activities across Ontario, Canada and North America.

Why do I have to register?
Registering helps to ensure your local clean up is a success and that you have the support of London Clean and Green. Registering helps to measure our success in terms of number of volunteers, areas cleaned up and the amount of garbage collected. We also want to be able to acknowledge your efforts.

When you register:
- We make sure you can pick up the appropriate number of garbage bags for your group. (Bags are available only while supplies last, so register early.)
- Garbage collection crews will know where to go to pick up the garbage your group collects. Our goal is to have all garbage removed by Monday, April 19.

How do I register?

Sign-up using our on-line Clean Up Registration Form.

How do I join an existing group?
Designated clean up locations are listed above. You may start from one of these locations by registering now online or on site between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. on April 17. We will provide you with garbage bags, graffiti remover (where required) and a map of the area to clean.

How can I earn community service hours?
Students can earn community service hours as part of their high school commitment by signing-up and participating in the London Clean & Green event.  Be sure to bring the student's volunteer form to the event for completion.

What if I want to clean my neighbourhood or local green space and it is not listed above?
You can do this by adding a new clean up location when registering via our online Registration Form.

- Start your own group. Get your neighbours involved, notify the local school, put up posters, etc.,
- Get out on your own and clean up. You are part of a bigger team and every volunteer makes a difference.
Participants are responsible for wearing appropriate and protective clothing (gloves, boots, sunscreen, etc).

Will garbage bags and gloves be available?
Garbage bags and gloves will be available while supplies last. Participants are responsible for wearing appropriate and protective clothing (gloves, boots, sunscreen, hats, etc).

Where do we put waste when we are finished cleaning up our area?
Garbage bags must be easily accessible to the collection trucks. Please leave your bags where instructed by Clean and Green representatives. Please instruct all volunteers to leave the garbage at the designated pickup location. Don't leave garbage in the park or ravine, or on a footpath.

Safety:

1. Wear appropriate and protective clothing (boots, gloves, etc.).
2. Wear a hat or sunscreen if necessary.|
3. Pick up litter in your gloved hand and carry your bag in the other.
4. Do not pick up strange articles that may be dangerous. Don't pick up anything that looks sharp (i.e. used needles).
5. Do not take any risks attempting to reach litter in hard-to-get-to places (up a tree, down a steep incline, in rapidly flowing water, on slippery surfaces, etc.).
