Community Cleanup

We want to extend our gratitude to all those who helped celebrate the annual Community Cleanup Week, held on the fourth week of April every year. With over 8,000 registered participants, more than 1,500 bags of garbage were collected by over 60 community members, elementary and secondary students, organizations, and neighbourhoods. Thank you for helping create a safe and clean community for everyone to enjoy.

Join us in making a difference by registering yourself, a group, an organization to volunteer for a cleanup in your neighbourhood, local park, green space, trail, or schoolyard. By volunteering, you'll be supporting the creation of a clean and sustainable community.

Please confirm your preferred cleanup location, date and time, and request garbage bags and gloves (available while supplies last).

We welcome groups of all sizes to participate in this Community Cleanup.

Three successful Mayor’s Cleanups took place in May, June, and September, and we cannot thank you enough for the community's support.

Individuals and community members of all sizes volunteered alongside City of Oshawa Mayor Dan Carter for another successful year of Mayor’s Cleanups. Registered participants joined the Mayor to get outside and engage in community activities which included cleaning up parks, green spaces, trails, and downtown streets. Free bags and gloves were provided for these morning cleanups to promote a safe and clean environment.

The Mayor’s Cleanups occurred in downtown Oshawa in May and June, with the final event of the series held at Second Marsh in early September.

We sincerely thank all participants for their support. We are excited about the prospect of continuing our collaboration in Oshawa in 2025.

Thank you to all who participated in Communities with Brooms on Tuesday, April 23 to make the clean up such a success!

Thank you to M.P. Colin Carrie, John Howard Society, and the Durham Regional Police Service for the continued support of this initiative.
