Did you know that Canadians throw over 3 million tonnes of plastic waste every year? Of that only 9% is recycled while the rest ends up in our landfills.

The rise in the use of PPE during the pandemic has further exacerbated our litter problem. This litter has been linked to the further destruction of wildlife and their habitats.

Park clean-ups are important for protecting wildlife and raising public awareness of the threat of litter to our environment. Join us in keeping Mississauga green!
