Imagine a cleaner, safer and more beautiful Brampton—where every small action adds up to a big difference. The Imagine Your Impact campaign empowers residents to take responsibility for their surroundings by properly disposing of waste, picking up after pets and respecting park guidelines. Litter harms wildlife, pollutes waterways and damages parks. Brampton is on a mission to become Canada’s first litter-free community, and your choices matter. Join the movement.

The Ready, Set, Collect is a friendly community challenge that encourages residents to help keep Brampton clean by tracking and sharing their litter efforts. Whether you're participating on your own, with family, friends, neighbours, or on a community group, every cleanup makes a difference.

Litter Reduction Forum
In 2023, Brampton City Council passed a motion for staff to work with community groups and stakeholders to review processes and coordination efforts to identify gaps in maintaining a clean city. Our efforts are driven by a passionate team and supported by individuals like you who care deeply about the city we live in.
​

In 2023, we hosted Brampton’s first Litter Reduction Forum, to raise awareness and gain ​valuable feedback on building and enhancing litter prevention strategies in our community. The forum brought together various stakeholders, including community leaders, businesses, community organizations, conservation authorities, places ​of worship, government leaders and staff, and served as a platform for insightful discussions, innovative ideas, and collaborative solutions aimed at tackling litter at its root. During this session, participants had the opportunity to provide input on key topics, including the development of the Draft Litter Reduction Charter.
​

Introducing the Litter Reduction Working Group

As a direct result of the Litter Reduction Forum, the Litter Reduction Working Group w​as formed, comprising of dedicated volunteers, city and regional staff, community organizations, and businesses. Together, we are spearheading initiatives, implementing strategies, and mobilizing resources to address litter effectively.​​
