Gloves, pick-up pails and litter pickers are provided but the City is asking to bring your own upcycled container.

Cleaners can search for cigarette butts anywhere in the downtown area.

An entry draw and several prizes available for most butts collected are being held. Registration at the event will be required to be eligible.

At the end of the event, the City is launching a contest that will last for 42 days until September to see how many cigarette butts can be collected until that last day of Summer.
