Join in Canada's Pitch-in Week
April 21 - 27, 2008
Gather some neighbours. Bring a group of friends. Get your team mates together. Organize your club members, church congregation, neighbourhood association. Together let's Pitch-In Hamilton!
Would you like to beautify your community and help the environment? Then gather a group to 'pitch-in' and organize a clean up of visible litter in your neighbourhood. Now is the time to make plans. You will be joining over a million volunteers across Canada who will be participating in this year's Pitch-In Canada Week taking place April 21st - 27th.
Participating in Pitch-in Week is easy. To organize an event, you first need to choose an area you want to clean up - your neighbourhood or nearby park, neighbourhood green space or urban lot - whatever space you feel could use a litter clean-up. Call some friends or neighbours together to help and pick a date to do your litter clean-up.
Be sure to register your clean up event with the Clean City Liaison Committee's Pitch-In Hamilton event
• Register on-line at www.hamilton.ca/cleancity, or:
• Call 905 546-CITY (2489) between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday.
Hamilton's Clean City Liaison Committee has a limited supply of special garbage bags, recycling bags and work gloves for participants so be sure to register by Tuesday, April 8 at 4:00 p.m.
Once you've done your litter clean-up, place your Pitch-in Canada bags at the curb on your regular collection day. And remember that a lot of litter is recyclable, so place recyclable containers in your Blue Box or in a clear plastic bag at the curbside. You'll be helping our environment and saving our landfill!
Finally, e-mail or call us back to let us know how successful your event was. We want Canada to know how much we care about our environment and our city when we all Pitch-In Hamilton!
