Penetanguishene, ON - The Town of Penetanguishene is reminding residents that tomorrow, May 12, is National Day Against Litter, and encouraging everyone to take part by helping keep the community clean and welcoming.

Residents are invited to clean up their own street, a local park, or a favourite outdoor spot at any time throughout the day. To support community cleanup efforts, the Town has cleanup bags available for residents.

Once cleanup bags are filled, residents have two easy options for disposal:

• Arrange for pickup by Town staff by calling the Town and advising where the bags have been left, or
• Drop off filled bags at the Penetanguishene Arena
