As a result of Delta's growth over the last several years, it has become more difficult to control the ever increasing litter on the streets. The cost of cleaning up litter puts a huge strain on the Municipality's ability to supply this and other services. So, the Municipality decided to ask its citizens to show their civic pride and help with this problem. By participating in this program community groups and individuals will help the Municipality reallocate funds to other much needed programs.
Volunteers perform litter pick-up four times a year.
The best way is to look out your window and see if the street near your home is litter free. If you take regular walks, you may see a place that you go by that is just begging for some attention. Or let Engineering Operations match you to a location from their list of spots available for adoption. The Municipality will place a sign, with your name on it, at the adopted site. A Municipal Representative will give an orientation before you start work.
