Cleaning Up Our Communities: Litter Kits Now Available

Posted on:
May 20, 2026

Many hands make light work—now it’s easier than ever for residents to get involved in keeping our communities litter-free.

To support local clean-up efforts, litter kits are now available for pickup at two locations:

• Baddeck Library
• Ingonish Library

Residents can drop by during regular library hours to pick up a kit and start making a difference right away.

What’s Inside a Litter Kit?

Each kit includes the essentials needed for a safe and effective clean-up:

• 4 garbage bags
• 2 recycling bags
• Gloves in a variety of sizes
• A sorting guide to help separate waste properly
• A data card from the Great Nova Scotia Pick-Me-Up program to track the litter you collect

Whether you’re heading out for a walk, spending time outdoors with family, or organizing a small group clean-up, these kits provide everything you need to get started.

Supporting Community Action

This initiative is designed to:

• Encourage community involvement in keeping our public spaces clean
• Make participation easy and accessible for residents
• Support environmental data collection through the Great Nova Scotia Pick-Me-Up program

Every bag of litter collected contributes to a cleaner, healthier environment—and helps build a stronger sense of community pride.

Need Additional Supplies?

If you’re planning a larger clean-up or simply need more materials, additional gloves and bags are available. Residents can contact their local Councillor to request extra supplies.

Join the Effort

Small actions add up to big impacts. By taking part in this program, you’re helping to protect the natural beauty of Victoria County for everyone to enjoy.

Pick up a litter kit, head outside, and be part of keeping our communities clean and beautiful.
