County encourages non-profits to sign up for 2025 Roadside Cleanup Program

Applications will soon be accepted for the County of Grande Prairie’s 2025 Roadside Cleanup.

The county says the annual affair presents a great opportunity for local non-profits to raise money, all while helping the county look its best.

Last year, groups from around the Grande Prairie region cleaned up more than 350 kilometers of ditches and managed to raise more than $78,000 for non-profit organizations in the community.

Officials say the Roadside Cleanup Program is more than just a cleaning effort, as it provides a significant opportunity for local non-profits to raise funding by cleaning roadsides, ditches, and hamlets across the county every spring.

To prepare and complete a cleanup, volunteers must complete the online checklist to prepare, two weeks ahead of their scheduled date. Two days before, volunteers can visit the Clairmont Centre for Recycling and Waste Management during business hours to pick up the required supplies like high-visibility vests, signs, gloves, and bags.

Applications will be accepted from February 1st to March 31st of this year. A full list of requirements and detailed maps of the 2025 cleanup zones are available on the county’s website.
