Location: MTO Carpool Lot, Hwy. 401 at Fountain St., Cambridge
Date: Sunday, October 29th 2023
Time: 4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
There is no rain date for this event. Please dress accordingly. If you feel like starting early or ending late, please do, but the event itself will begin at 4:00 p.m. and end at 5:00 p.m.
The purpose of this event is to help clean up the carpool lot & surrounding area. Carpool lots are notorious for litterbugs and are thus a great place for frequent CITO events. This one is no exception!
I will be located at or near the posted coordinates, and will have a logbook for individuals to sign into if they choose. Feel free to bring trackables for discovery or drop-off. There is also a cache on-site! I will have garbage bags, gloves and trash grabbers available courtesy of the City of Cambridge, although you may wish to bring your own. You may also want to bring your own high-visibility clothing, water and snacks as these items will not be supplied.
The terrain ranges from flat, paved surfaces to ditches, grassland and bushes. The event is posted with a terrain rating of 1.5 but it may be higher or lower depending on the area you choose to clean.
Trash will be collected and placed in or beside the bins near the entrance of the lot.
SHARPS WARNING
If during your activities you discover any sharps such as needles or other drug-related materials, DO NOT touch them. Alert the event host who will mark the location and call for specialized pickup of the hazardous waste. Sharps and other drug-related materials could cause serious injury, infection or exposure to potentially deadly substances.
