SUMMARY:RE:Connect
DESCRIPTION:Hosted and organized by Steve Paul of Clean Up Peterborough\, RE:Connect is the city’s first-ever circular economy celebration. Inspired by the success of Toronto’s ReMarket\, this free\, family-friendly event shines a spotlight on creative\, practical ways our community can reduce waste\, repair what we already have\, and keep valuable items in use. \n✨ What you can expect: \nDrop-off opportunities for hard-to-recycle materials through TerraCycle recycling programs \nHands-on activities and family-friendly ways to learn about sustainability \nCommunity connections with local organizations\, makers\, and changemakers \nExplore year-round programs like Repair Café Peterborough\, OPIRG’s FreeMarkets\, and B!KE’s membership model\, with opportunities to get involved in ongoing circular economy initiatives \nThis isn’t a vendor fair — it’s a community-building celebration of reuse\, repair\, and sustainability in action. Whether you’re looking to declutter responsibly\, pick up something new-to-you\, or discover ways to live more lightly on the planet\, there will be something for everyone. \nWe’ve designed the event to run into the evening so families\, students\, and working folks can stop by after school or work. \nCome for the swaps\, stay for the inspiration — and be part of the movement to make Peterborough a cleaner\, more connected community.

SUMMARY:Fall Clean Up
DESCRIPTION:Looking for people interested in participating in an Adopt-A-Highway clean up at the Hwy 115 access point at Ashburnham drive. \nWe will meet at the Dynacast Peterborough Parking Lot at 485 Ashburnham Drive\, with a planned 10am start (see the yellow circle with yellow arrow on the map). We will then cross over the bridge to that area we will be cleaning (the two red areas on the map). We cleaned the red area on the south side of Ashburnham in the spring – we may do light cleaning on that side then focus most of our time on the red area on the north side of Ashburnham – this area has never been cleaned before. Ignore the blue area – we will one day work on that area once we have enough volunteers. \nI have bags\, grabbers and vests for everyone. If you have a pair of work or gardening gloves – please bring them with you. During our spring clean up – some people found it easier to pick up litter with their hands\, which is where gardening gloves come in handy. \nFor safety purposes – we will ALL work together\, so we are a visible unit. We are NOT allowed to pick up litter on the shoulder of the 115\, and cannot cross under the bridge\, We will try to salvage clean recycling\, and found in the spring it was easier for some people to focus only on recycling\, and others only on garbage. Our garbage drop spot is behind the guardrail right where we will start – look for the white dot in the west red triangle. \nPlease wear long pants and sturdy boots. It is supposed to be cloudy\, between 13C and 16C). Bring some water and a snack with you – we will make sure to take breaks along the way. I have attached the Adopt-A Highway safety guidelines which are pretty straightforward. I will go thru everything again tomorrow morning. \nIf you show up after 10am – please park and cross the bridge to meet up with us

SUMMARY:PRHC Community Cigarette Butt Clean Up
DESCRIPTION:This is a cigarette butt only clean up event – and anywhere on hospital grounds goes!! Particular focus will be along edges of parking lots\, sidewalks\, near storm drains and areas people congregate. Cigarette butts are one of the most littered items in the world\, and every cigarette butt collected will be recycled thru Terracycle Canada. \nVolunteers will meet up and register outside of main entrance on West side of building (not emergency entrance). We will have a table – shouldn’t be hard to find. ALL volunteers who want to help out will receive FREE parking in visitor lots! Park in ANY visitor lot – you will get a Parking Pass at registration that you can use on the way out. So please come out and help – there is a opportunity to collect a LOT of cigarette butts at this clean up! \nGloves\, Pick-Up Pails\, and Litter Grabbers provided. We may try tongs with this one as the larger litter grabbers don’t pick up the butts very well. Feel free to bring your own upcycled container (ie yogurt container) as well! \nMultiple Draw Prizes available\, from @KawarthaNow\, @SilverBeanCafe\, @RedEftNativePlants\, Square Plates Family Restaurant. and @UnsmokeCanada.\nRegistration at Event Required to be eligible. \nAny Questions – Email Steve at cleanuppeterborough@gmail.com \nSupported by both @CityofPeterborough and @prhc1 \nSponsored by Great Outdoors Fund\, Unsmoke Canada and Kawartha Now. \n#KeepPeterboroughClean #ptbolitteraction #UnsmokeCanadaCleanups
