City of Ottawa - Cleaning the Capital registration starts August 15!

Join the thousands of community volunteers to help keep Ottawa clean and green in 2022!  

Register your cleanup project for the Cleaning the Capital 2022 Fall campaign by September 30th.   Then, get cleaning between September 15 – October 15!  Cleanup kits will be made available for pick-up at seven City of Ottawa facilities.

Tips:

• If you can, please set out all collected waste/litter at your home on your regularly scheduled waste collection day. Remember to respect the six-item limit. Visit Garbage and Recycling for more information.
• If you can’t take it home, or if you have collected large quantities of waste/litter, please contact the Cleaning the Capital team at cleaning@ottawa.ca (preferred) or 613-580-2424, ext. 13458 on the day of your cleanup so that we can arrange for on-site pickup.  Remember to provide us with your registration number, quantity of bags, exact pickup location, and, if possible, a photo of the waste/litter you have collected. Please note, waste/litter pickup will occur during regular business hours (Monday to Friday). Pickup requests submitted on weekends will be actioned on the next business day.
• Leave the leaves! Leaves should be left in open spaces that are maintained by the City, including parks, and in all naturalized and natural areas. Fallen leaves provide overwintering shelter for many species of butterflies and bees.
• Save your registration code to submit the online Cleanup Report for each project you completed by October 31, 2022.
