Spring Litter Clean-up Campaign

Who can apply?

Non-profit organizations registered and based in the Yukon can apply. This includes:

• sports teams;
• art groups;
• schools;
• church groups;
• service clubs; and
• community associations.

To be eligible, the non-profit organization needs to be registered and in compliance with Corporate Affairs. You can find how to incorporate a society on Yukon.ca. You can also find the status of your organization on the Yukon Corporate Online Registry.

Each non-profit organization needs a group for clean-up. Each group needs to have an adult supervisor with a vehicle plus 5 volunteers.

One non-profit organization can have multiple groups doing clean-up. This means that one non-profit can receive $300 multiple times (once per clean-up section).

Clean-up sections

Find clean-up sections in:

• communities; and
• Whitehorse.

Remember the section number for the highway section your group would like to clean. You’ll need to include the number in the application form.

You can also suggest cleaning up sections of the highway that are not listed. To do so, email springlitter@yukon.ca with the section of highway you’re interested in.

Equipment

You do not need your own equipment for clean-up. We’ll provide the equipment you need for safe clean-up, including signage, gloves and high-visibility vests.

Submit your application
