The City held its annual Community Clean Up day this past weekend at Robin’s Donuts.

Thompsonites from across the city took part in the day as part of the annual Spring Clean Up program, where the City offers residents $3 a bag for garbage and $4 a bag for recycling picked up from the streets and public areas around town.

Director of Public Works Wayne Koversky has the details on how much was collected, and how much the City reimbursed for those collections.

“We’re looking at roughly $1,593 that we paid out, and over and above that, the Recycling Centre paid out $119 for the recycle bags. So looking at it, total bags were 531, 119 of those were recyclable.”

Koversky also noted that he was pleased with this year’s turnout, saying that there was positive community support despite it being later in the year.

“We were a little bit later doing the event, but all in all, the weather cooperated with us, the public cooperated with us, we had good support from families and individuals and organizations, and everything worked out well.”
