2010 Pitch-In dates:   April 19 to May 1, 2010 Every spring in April/May, the City of Chilliwack stages "Spring Pitch-In", a City-wide clean up campaign aimed at beautifying the community and promoting civic pride. The City's Spring Pitch-In is run concurrently with the National Pitch-In Campaign.

The City of Chilliwack advertises the Pitch-In program each spring in local papers and on the radio.  Residents are encouraged to watch for these advertisements for program and registration dates.

PROGRAM COMPONENTS

Litter Clean-up Projects

Local community groups commit their resources to conduct litter collection projects along roads, parks, dykes, streams and other public places. Each participating group is provided with a $100.00 grant from the City for their services. Please contact the Engineering Dept. at 604-793-2907 if your group is interested!

Residential Spring Clean Up Collections

A separate clean-up program is also run, where non-profit groups collect and dispose of spring cleaning debris for Chilliwack residents. The program works on a donation basis, with donations of $30 to $40 per household, depending on the quantity of material collected and transported to the Bailey Landfill or Parr Road Green Depot.    

All materials for collection must be placed at the curbside.

Residents wishing to have spring clean up debris picked up from their homes can contact the City's Environmental Services Department at 604-793-2907.

As part of this year’s clean-up campaign, the City of Chilliwack will accept metal FREE OF CHARGE at the Bailey Sanitary Landfill from April 19 to May 1 only.  *Metals MUST NOT be commingled with any other waste or recyclable materials and shall be placed in the designated area for recycling.

Please use this opportunity to recycle your old, non-reusable appliances!
