It’s time for the annual Quinte Trash Bash – our community-wide spring cleanup!

Quinte Trash Bash is a cooperative event between the City of Quinte West, City of Belleville and the Township of Tyendinaga.  They too will be holding their community-wide spring clean up – same date, same time.

Saturday April 25, 2015 (9:00am – 2:00pm)

City of Belleville

Volunteering to help clean up your community?  Here’s what you need to know:

Supply Kit contains: Nitrile gloves, garbage bags, clear/white bags for recyclables

Kits will be available of the 25th at the following locations:

• Market Square
• Cascade Park
• Quinte Secondary School
• Corner of Sidney Street & Bridge Street West

Contact person:  Melanie Morrish (613) 967-3200 x.3219 | mmorrish@city.belleville.on.ca City of Belleville

Step 1: Register yourself at City Hall or online and choose an area where you would like to pick.  Why are we asking you to register?  It helps us identify the areas that have been cleaned and how many people are participating in the event.

Step 2: Pick litter on Saturday April 25 between 9:00am and 2:00pm.

Step 3: Bring your collected garbage to the dumpsters at Bridge/Sidney (by fairgrounds).  If you don’t have wheels to drop off the trash, contact me to leave your items at curbside.

Step 4:  Be sure to tell us how many bags you collected.  It helps us collect information for our sponsors.

Too big, too dangerous to haul?

If you come across something really big or heavy (such as furniture) or something too dangerous to pick up (such as needles, condom, flammable liquids), take note of the location.  Do not pick it up.  Let us know and we’ll arrange to pick it up.

Handling Recyclables

• Place your recyclables into one of the clear or white bags given to you in the kit.  You will need to sort your recyclables at the drop-off location.
• Only clean items can be recycled.  Nothing with liquid, dirt, grease – including food grease, can go into the recycling.
• Wet paper cannot be recycled.
