Keep Markham Beautiful

If you register with the City, you'll get free cleanup supplies.

Call 905.477.5530 or send an e-mail with your name, address, and phone number to: customerservice@markham.ca.

We'll give you:

• GLAD® clear garbage bags
  
• GLAD® blue tinted bags for recyclables and latex-free gloves

We would like to thank GLAD Canada! They have sponsored Markham's cleanup events for many years.

You will need to dispose of the material you collect.

• Schools and businesses can use their own collection services.
  
• Individuals can put out material on their scheduled collection day. We will accept bagged recyclables for this program only.
  
• Adopt-a-Park and Community Groups will arrange collection points at the time of registration.
  

Tips:

• Use small grocery bags. Then, empty the material into a larger bag.
• Keep recyclables separate from other waste. You can use the blue tinted bag we provide. Most litter is recyclable! You can recycle coffee cups, aluminum cans, and paper products.
• Place garbage in the clear bags we give you. We won't collect tinted or dark bags.
• Drop off recyclable materials like tires and scrap metal at any Markham's Recycling Depot.

Safety:

• Wear appropriate and protective clothes.
• If you're near a road, always watch for vehicles.
• Leave leaves, twigs, and plants on the ground.
• Don't step on spring plants that may just be starting to grow. These include shrubs, bulbs, and flowers.
• Don't pick up dangerous items like needles. You can call 905.477.5530 to report these items. You can also use the "Report a Problem" function on the Access Markham mobile app.
