Team Up to Clean Up

Team Up to Clean Up is a new initiative that replaces the traditional Pitch-In Week. The community is encouraged to register for Team Up to Clean Up events throughout the town to support a greener, cleaner Stony Plain. 

Different from Pitch-In Week, Team Up to Clean Up expands clean-up opportunities outside of April 6 to May 4 and is offered throughout the year, supporting group flexibility and ongoing environmental stewardship. 

Anyone can register to organize a clean-up event through the registration form.

New this year, Not-for Profit Organizations participating in Team Up to Clean Up may apply to receive funding to use for their programming!

Non-funded opportunities are open to all groups, business, organizations and residents. Everyone is encouraged to participate and organize clean up event.
