SMALL PLANET ENERGY CLEAN UP CONTEST

The 5th Annual Small Planet Clean-Up Contest is on now!

You could win cash prizes for helping to clean up our forests and trails!

Participants will do their own clean-ups and entries will be made by taking before and after pictures of the good work everyone is doing to help our Small Planet.

The Small Planet Cleanup contest began in 2020 with 18 participants and $300 in prizes. Last year, the contest had 1032 participants, including 9 schools, and over 7 tons of garbage cleaned up, as well as a partnership with CVRD and Shaw TV, and $8380 in prizes! In total, cleanup participants have cleaned up 15 tons of garbage from our area in the last 4 years.

This year’s contest has over $6500.00 in cash prizes! The goal is to have the entire Campbell River and Comox Valley Regional District and surrounding forests cleaned up in 2 weeks’ time!

The rules are simple. From now until Sunday, April 30th at 6pm:

1. Take before and after photos of garbage you find and clean up anywhere in the Campbell River/Comox Valley Strathcona Regional District.

2. Submit your photos on the contest page. (Multiple entries are encouraged)

3. Contact cleanup organizer Tara Jordan for free biodegradable garbage bags, CVRD tipping fee waiver forms, (to waive the dump fees), to recommend areas that are in need of a cleanup or for any other questions – 250-202-7446 or [email protected].

4. Get outside and make a positive difference by being a part of the solution today. Spread the word!
