Deputy Mayor Jennifer McKelvie announced plans for the City of Toronto's 2023 Clean Toronto Together campaign and encouraged residents, schools, businesses and community groups to take part in the annual spring cleanup from Friday, April 21 to Sunday, April 23.

Toronto schools and businesses can participate by cleaning around their properties. On Earth Day, Saturday, April 22, and 23, residents are encouraged to host community cleanups to remove litter from public spaces such as parks, ravines, sidewalks, laneways and beaches.

Participants are asked to register their cleanups online by Wednesday, April 19. Registration helps the city arrange special litter pickups, avoid duplicate cleanups and measure results.

Some of the city’s spring cleanup activities include:

Illegal dumping cleanup.

Boulevard and laneway cleaning.

Litter and debris removal in parks.

Fenceline litter clearing.

Bicycle lane infrastructure maintenance.

Pothole blitzes.

Street sweeping to clean up dirt and debris from Toronto’s streets.

The public can also report litter hot spots or overflowing bins by visiting 311-Toronto at Your Service or by calling 311.

More information about Clean Toronto Together is available on the city’s website.
