Contact the local park authority to coordinate their assistance with the clean-up. Any clean-up near water areas should have sufficient adult supervision for children volunteers. Volunteers should be properly dressed and briefed on potentially hazardous wastes they might encounter. Be cautious of steep banks or swampy regions that could be dangerous. Your favourite public, provincial or National park is a great place to clean up.
Parks often have a high visitation rate, which frequently brings a large amount of litter.
Preparations for a park clean-up should be coordinated with the parks authority for each particular jurisdiction. Park staff can provide information regarding specific park regulations or wildlife concerns and can possibly offer assistance with the supervision of the clean-up. As well, they might have equipment to borrow. Every community will provide a variety of specific clean-up opportunities. Public areas, such as vacant lots, downtown centres, and cemeteries might be good clean-up locations.
