The Prince George annual Spring Clean Up Day takes place on April 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Residents are encouraged to pick up litter on city streets, trails, parks and school yards during the annual event, which dates back to 1918.
The City of Prince George will have extra trash bins located throughout the city, and a map can be found online here.
Groups can register in advance and designate specific areas they are going to clean. Registered groups can request garbage bags from the city, which can be picked up at city hall after April 19.
If you are unable to transport full garbage bags to the Foothills Boulevard Regional Landfill on Spring Clean Up Day, contact the city by calling 311 or by email at [email protected] and the city can arrange for pick up.
The City of Prince George encourages participants to stay safe: wear high-visibility clothing and suitable footwear, watch out for traffic, dress for the weather and stay alert to your surroundings.
