The 20-Minute Makeover was created with Toronto businesses in mind but is open to everyone who prefers a weekday cleanup. Taking part is easy:
- Select a public space that needs your help such as a park, sidewalk, ravine or beach.
- Pick a 20-minute timeframe that works for your group. Many groups schedule a 2 p.m. cleanup.
- Register your cleanup. Registering your cleanup helps to avoid duplicate cleanups at the same location and helps the City to arrange for special litter collection, if required.
- Gather supplies for your cleanup, including litter bags, gloves, trash grabbers (optional), hand sanitizer, and water/snacks.
- On cleanup day, share a photo of your cleanup in progress – using hashtag #cleantoronto
Safety tips and other guidance will be provided to registered participants prior to the cleanup weekend.
