20-Minute Toronto Makeover registration
Simply complete this online form, pick up your GLAD® clean-up kit and you’re ready to go.
Please note: Schools do not register with the City of Toronto. They must register participation via their principal with their respective School Board.
Why register?
Registration is important to ensure City crews know where to go on Friday, April 15 to pick up the litter your group collects. If you don’t register, then the bags filled with litter may be left behind and this can lead to problems. Other people may add garbage to the pile, and in addition to this being illegal, it creates a mess in the neighbourhood.
Individuals are not required to register. The City asks individuals, if possible, to put their litter bags in their Garbage Bin along with their regular garbage for collection.

What do I do with recyclables collected with the litter?
If possible, the City encourages you to put any recyclables collected in their institutional or residential recycling containers/carts/bins.
Participating GTA municipalities include Oakville, Mississauga, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham, Pickering and Ajax.
Looking for more ways to reduce waste and do your part?
Don’t forget – Mayor Rob Ford’s Community Clean-up Day is on Saturday, April 16, 2011. This is an opportunity to get together with family, friends, and neighbours to clean up an area in your community.
The 2010 Community Environment Days season has been completed. Please check back in March for the 2011 schedule of events.
Keeping Toronto green, clean and beautiful is up to all of us!
