Green Deer 2010 - The City of Red Deer

Green Deer 2010

Trash and litter have built up throughout the winter. Green Deer is a city and community effort to

clean up what winter left behind.

From April 19 to June 20, join neighbours, friends and coworkers in making Red Deer beautiful. Register for Green Deer Today

How to register
• Register in person at the Recreation Centre or the Collicutt Centre and pick up your TD Friends of the Environment garbage bags (Needle safety information and free pickers will also be available).
• Register at the Green Deer kick-off barbeque on Monday April 19 from 5 to 7 p.m. in the parking lot north of the skateboard park (corner of 48 Ave and 43 St.)
• Register by calling Recreation staff at 403-309-8411
People are encouraged to register so Green Deer organizers can distribute cleaning supplies, track the areas that have been cleaned and recognize volunteer work. Every group to register will automatically be entered into a draw to win a barbeque event.

Once you register, there are a variety of ways to get involved and have fun:
• Challenge another group to see who can pick up the most trash
• Register to pick up litter in your own neighbourhood or one of your favourite park areas
• Sponsor a friendly competition among those in your group and offer a prize.
If you have collected large amounts of garbage, please notify Suzanne at 403-309-8411 and she will arrange to have your pile picked up. You can also put the Green Deer garbage bags with your own garbage. You will not be charged for additional garbage.
