20-Minute Makeover

May 15, 2024 11:30 AM

Join us for our annual 20-Minute Makeover on Wednesday, May 15 between 11:30 am and 2 pm. Let’s beautify our city by collecting the residual waste that was hiding under the snow all winter!

This year, we encourage you to clean up your favourite parks, trails and recreation areas. We’ll have bags, gloves and graffiti cleaning supplies at Shipyards Park. Join us for a BBQ from 12 to 1 pm.

Supplies will be available at the Frank Slim Building in Shipyards Park the week prior if your time is limited on the day of the event.

If picking up garbage in your neighbourhood, you can drop it off at one of our extra collection sites.

• Skate Park in Riverdale
• Lazulite Park in Copper Ridge
• Hickory and Wann Road Park in Porter Creek
• Look-out on Range Road in Whistle Bend
• Playground on Thompson Road for the neighbourhoods of Arkell, Logan, Granger

Check out the map below for collection sites and for areas that could use some TLC.

Remember to stay safe and wear high visibility clothing when cleaning along wildlife corridors and busy roadways.

If you find needles/sharps, please call or text Blood Ties Four Directions at 867-334-1647 for needle pick-up and disposal.

Report illegal dumping activity to Bylaw Services at 867-667-2111, at whitehorse.ca/sort or by using our What Goes Where app.
