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 23 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, The City asks individuals, if possible, to put their litter bags in their Garbage Bin along with their regular garbage for collection.
