Solid Waste Community Litter Collection Program

In May 2018, Region of Queens Municipality’s Council approved a new program to support Queens County’s non-profit organizations who conduct highway litter clean ups.  In each of  the Municipality’s budgets since that time, $3,000 has been included for this purpose. Region of Queens will collect and dispose of the collected waste from approved clean ups.  Groups may apply to clean up a portion of  a highway in their community and be granted $100 per kilometre for both sides of the highway, once per year for a maximum of 3 kilometres in a location authorized by Nova Scotia Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal (NSTIR).

Download the program guidelines and application here, or contact our Department of Infrastructure at 902-354-7179, publicworks@regionofqueens.com.  Completed applications must be submitted to our Department of Infrastructure by email or mail.  Program funding is on a first come, first served basis.
