Pick Up the Peace

This is the week (April 27-May 1) designated by the Town of Peace River when residents who want to help clean up the town are encouraged to get out and pick up garbage that has accumulated over the winter. The Town and Tim Horton's are the sponsors of the event--thank you!

I'm a little late on this, but I'm going out tonight to pick up garbage (meet at the East side of the Mall at 6:45 if you want to join me) and decided I should also advertise the event.

Here's the information from Community Services:

At your convenience, drop by one of the three dispatch points between noon and 8:00 PM (Tim Horton's, the pool, and the Rec Centre). There you will be provided garbage bags, gloves and a participant T Shirt. Choose an area you think needs a bit of cleaning, pick garbage to your heart’s content, then return the filled garbage bag to the dispatch point. Filled bags can be left near the on-site dumpster for pick up by Town staff the following morning.

A thank you wind up Barbeque for all the volunteers will be held at the Public Works yard (off River Road just north of the bridge) on May 9 from 11-3 PM. This BBQ is also intended to raise awareness about E-Waste Recycling.
