You can help to keep our community clean by picking up roadside litter and debris through the City of Kenora clear bag program.
How the program works
1. Volunteer sign-up
Contact the Lake of the Woods Discovery Centre to sign up the area, neighbourhood, or street you will be cleaning.
2. Get the tools
To help in your efforts in cleaning up public areas of the City, we provide basic tools for free:
- Program branded clear bags
- Picker (when in stock)
- Gloves (when in stock)
- Safe needle pick-up instructions from the Northwestern Health Unit
Pick up your package at the Lake of the Woods Discovery Centre, 931 Lakeview Drive, Kenora. Upon your arrival, please ring the doorbell for service.
3. When you are finished
Leave the clear bags on the side of the road. Because the bags are “City Branded”, our staff will recognize them at a glance and verify the contents.
You may also call the Transfer Station at 807-467-2980 to let us know where you have left full bags.
No bag tag is required.
Not accepted
• No hazardous waste
• No household or personal garbage
The corporate program
As a business owner, you can Adopt-a-Block area around your business in the harbourtown centre or other part of the City.
We will give you the tools you need along with a Green Leaf Program window cling to show you are a supporter.
If you do not have the time or the staff, we have a solution for you. The ‘Pic-a-Bag Wastebusters' program that puts people in poverty back to work, will clean up for you. Contact the Transfer Station at 807-467-2980 for more information.
Thank you
We are so grateful for those who volunteer to help keep Kenora clean!
If you know of someone who is a dedicated Adopt-a-Block participant, consider nominating them for the Citizen Recognition Award.
