Thank you for signing up for the Ocean Wise Shoreline Cleanup. We have received the following information from your municipality.

The City of Chilliwack supports organized cleanups of illegal dumping hotspots located on public land within City boundaries and in FVRD Electoral Area E (Chilliwack River Valley) in two ways:

1. Providing Tag-a-Bag stickers:

• A “before” photo is required prior to the event. This can even be taken on a smart phone and e-mailed to [email protected].

• Once reviewed, and if approved, free “Tag-a-Bag stickers” will be made available for pick up at the Engineering reception desk located at City Hall.

• A member of your group who resides in Chilliwack and receives “Curbside Collection” can

place the tags on the collected bags and they will be picked up on the resident’s regular

collection day at no cost.

• This works best for small cleanups resulting in 1-5 bags.

2. Providing a free tipping pass for the landfill:

• A “before” photo and proposed clean-up location/description is required prior to the event. This can even be taken on a smart phone and e-mailed to [email protected].

• Once reviewed, and if approved, a free tipping pass will be made available for pick up at the Engineering reception desk located at City Hall.

• With the pass in hand, your group can head to the landfill and tip the material into the

appropriate bins at no cost.

• This works best for cleanups where a truckload or more is gathered.

These options apply to sites where material has been illegally dumped or significant volumes have accumulated (such as abandoned campsites) on public land. The photo and message regarding your intent to organize a hotspot cleanup is best sent at least 1-2 business days in advance of the planned cleanup date to ensure that the request is received and that City staff have sufficient time to arrange for the passes or

tags to be made available.
