The Town of Oakville’s annual Clean Sweep is set for Friday, April 22, 2016. The popular event is a great way to get together with friends and family to clean up around your school, business, neighbourhood or park. Your 20 minutes makes a big difference in keeping Oakville beautiful!
“Clean Sweep is a great example of Oakville’s commitment to the environment,” said Oakville Mayor Rob Burton. “Together, we are creating a cleaner, greener and more livable Oakville.”

While cleaning up, remember to take pictures or videos and share them on the town’s Facebook or Twitter page. After the cleanup, email us at [email protected] to let us know how many large bags of garbage you collected.
You may place your GLAD garbage bags out on your regular garbage collection day, and please recycle what you can. Please ensure that you use the clearly marked GLAD garbage bags to collect litter on Clean Sweep day as only these GLAD bags will be collected by Halton Region free of charge above the three-bag limit.

Residents are also encouraged to take part in the town-wide Annual Earth Week Clean Up on Saturday, April 23 from 9–11 a.m. hosted by the Oakville Community Centre for Peace, Ecology and Human Rights (OCCPEH).
