District 13 Litter Pick-up Challenge

About the challenge:

District 13 has a serious litter problem. We live in one of the most beautiful places in the world, and it's time we act like it. I have partnered with the Great Nova Scotia Pick-Me-Up  to offer $1000 in district capital funds in exchange for cleaning up 1km of District 13’s roads, beaches, parks and trails. Registered non-profit organizations, schools, and sports organizations in District 13 are encouraged to apply.

Pending this year’s success, I plan on completing 20 litter pick-ups every year, for a total of 80km of litter pick-ups over 4 years.
 

How to apply:

• Reach out to me at Nancy.Hartling@halifax.ca to confirm your group qualifies, the area your group wishes to pick up litter, the number of people who will be participating, and your capital request.
• Once you’ve confirmed you qualify and your group has been selected, you will need to complete a District Capital Fund Request Form.
• Pick a date. You litter pick up will be coordinated with Divert NS and the Great Nova Scotia Pick-Me-Up, and your team will be provided litter pick-up kits necessary for the day. Tipping fees will be waved for any collected garbage dropped off to the Otter Lake facility, or HRM can arrange garbage collection.
