KEPO and Waste Management Co-host Eastern Doors Annual Spring Cleanup

04/08/2022

The Kahnawà:ke Environment Protection Office (KEPO) and Waste Management would like to inform the community that they will be co-hosting The Eastern Door’s 26th Annual Spring Cleanup on Friday, April 29th from 7am to 12pm noon.

Cleanup headquarters will be at the Knights of Columbus parking lot. Staff from KEPO, Waste Management, and The Eastern Door will be on site with cleanup supplies, giveaways, information, and more. Cleanup participants can also register here to win a prize, including an eco-friendly gift set worth $125. There will also be a special prize for the “weirdest object found.” Objects can be brought directly to cleanup HQ.

On-site, Waste Management will be offering a special collection for items such as electronics, tires, scrap metal, paints, etc. They also ask that cleanup participants save and drop off any cans or glass bottles found during cleanup, as these items can be recycled.

The event is a community-wide cleanup of litter and debris, with the goal of creating a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable Kahnawà:ke. Everyone is welcome to participate in any location within the territory.
