Municipality of Inverness County Kicks Off Earth Month with One Bag Challenge
The Municipality of Inverness County is inviting residents to participate in the One Bag Challenge this April. As part of Earth Month which takes place in April, the challenge encourages everyone to help keep our communities clean by collecting one bag of litter throughout the municipality.
How to participate:
- Pick up a litter kit at a participating Canada Post or library locations throughout the municipality. See below for a detailed list.
- Collect one bag of litter from anywhere in the municipality.
- Take a picture of the bag and email it with the location the litter was collected to waste@invernesscounty.ca.
For each bag of litter collected, participants will earn one entry for a chance to win a $50 gift card to their local grocery store.
“Whether you’re walking the beach with a bag, picking up litter along a walk with your dog or cleaning up a local park, every bag of litter you collect makes a difference,” says Nicole Latimer, Municipality of Inverness County Solid Waste Coordinator. “We had tremendous success with this initiative last year, and we are excited to see how the community responds this year.”
The One Bag Challenge winner will be announced on Friday, May 1.
Each litter kit includes gloves, bags, and everything needed to get started. Litter kits are available at participating locations throughout the municipality, including participating Canada Post offices, libraries and the Port Hood Municipal Building while supplies last:
