Earth Day Community Clean-up Registration

The City of Medicine Hat greatly appreciates community involvement in the weeklong Earth Day (April 22) Litter Blitz!

Please review the Area Maps below and choose a section that works for you. The park areas shown in green typically have taller grasses and shrubs that hold litter deposited from winds over the year. As these areas are generally not manicured beyond the trail edges, trash can accumulate.

The sections shown are expansive. Volunteers are encouraged to use the trail system when litter picking, and to devote the level of time and effort they are comfortable with. All help is appreciated!

Once you and/or your group have registered to clean up an area, you will be automatically entered into our Earth Day Litter Blitz draw.

Please review these maps and select an area to work in.

To wrap up the weeklong clean-up, a community BBQ will be held at the Parks Office (near Kin Coulee Park) on Saturday, April 30 at 12 noon.
