We work hard to maintain a beautiful community for our residents and visitors to enjoy. With your help we can avoid the negative impact this type of activity has on our City.
Litter and illegal dumping may:
-
represent a breeding ground for fire and disease
-
degrade water quality
-
cause injury to pets, wildlife, residents and children
-
discourage economic development by lowering real estate values
-
cost taxpayers money − on average the cost to clean up illegally dumped garbage exceeds $100,000 each year
In addition to directing City staff to clean up litter and garbage, Pickering:
-
pick up trash when you see it
-
-
do not pick up dangerous articles. If you spot needles, weapons, unlabelled chemical containers or other potentially dangerous articles, call the City of Pickering Operations Centre at 905.683.4319.
-
take your own waste to the Miller Waste Durham Transfer Station at 1220 Squires Beach Road, Pickering. It is open Monday to Friday from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm and on Saturday from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm.
