If you’ve got time to lean, you’ve got time to clean.
There are just two weeks left to get your applications in for the County of Grande Prairie’s 2025 Roadside Cleanup Program.
The County says the annual event is a great opportunity for local non-profits to raise money while helping the county look its best, especially after the springtime melt.
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.
This year, there are 50 zones available for non-profits to clean up; each offering a unique figure, ranging anywhere between $200 per kilometre to lump sums of $2,000.
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 are available online until March 31st.
