Cleaning up the community

The city will provide volunteers with garbage pick up supplies and special garbage bags.

Abbotsford residents are encouraged to register to pick-up litter around their workplace, school and community as part of Community Clean-up Week (April 22-28).

The city will provide registrants garbage pickers, safety vests, gloves, and marked garbage bags. To register and pick up your Clean-up Abbotsford Week supplies, go to the Abbotsford Exhibition Park Office located at 32470 Haida Drive.

Designated yellow garbage bags can be put out with regular garbage pick-up without an extra garbage sticker.
