The picture below was taken immediately after the first cleanup we organized on July 1st, 2017.  Back then it was just four friends, a couple of garbage bags and an idea.  Little did we know we would go on to engage thousands of youth from various communities to embrace servant leadership and help in picking up trash.  

We meet weekly for one hour to volunteer and clean up our community.  Students earn their service hours, make friends and have the opportunity to give back to their community in a meaningful way.  We provide the gloves, bags, music, and dirty locations – you just bring yourself.

Since the first cleanup, our community efforts have been recognized on CBC, CTV, CityNews and Much Music’s, Travel Magazine, Far and Wide.  See for yourself below…

If you know a location that requires a cleanup, please email us at info @ pickwaste.com
