The roadside cleanup is an annual effort each spring where the County provides local, non-profit organizations the opportunity to raise funds by cleaning up the roadsides, ditches, and hamlets across the municipality. Last year, 45 groups cleared over 299 km of County roads, collecting approximately 14 tonnes of litter and raising $69,910 to support their organizations.
