Community members and volunteers are joining the city in the spring spruce-up to make the community cleaner and keep Markham beautiful.

Many residents in south Unionville participated in the community clean up May 7, collecting dozens of bags filled with trash. Volunteers from Markville High School and Sunset Glow senior group, together with local elected officials, joined the two cleaning booths on the east and west side of the community. Meanwhile, the city of Markham operations department is working to provide road, park and trail maintenance services, so residents can safely enjoy public outdoor spaces this spring and summer. Markham's investments in transportation planning, infrastructure, education and programming have also earned the city a Silver Bicycle Friendly Communities award from the Share the Road Cycling Coalition.

Crews are currently cutting grass, making repairs, and cleaning up litter in parks, open spaces and trails to help keep Markham beautiful.

Help keep Markham beautiful and dispose of

used face masks, gloves and wipes in park garbage bins or bring them home for curbside pickup. Household waste and pet waste belong in the correct container for curbside pickup at your home.

Please do not litter in our parks and open spaces. Use Markham's "What Goes Where" tool on the Access Markham mobile app or on the city website if you need more information.
