2025 Clean Your Mile
We need your help once again to beautify our Town, Parks, schools and neighborhoods! The Town of New Canaan, is joining forces with the Chamber of Commerce and Planet New Canaan for the 2025 Clean Your Mile. For the last several years, the Clean Your Mile effort has included three key components: New Canaan citizens individually tackling neighborhoods; community groups scouring public spaces including parks and schools; and the Chamber's efforts with merchants to clean up sidewalks, storage areas and parking spaces surrounding the shops and restaurants in the downtown village district.
Clean Your Mile is scheduled for the week of April 21-April 27 but you are welcome to participate anytime! Individual volunteers and members of numerous community organizations help give New Canaan its annual spring cleaning, beautifying our Town and environment. Youth Groups and Civic organizations are asked to clean the Parks, parking lots, schools and public areas where they have volunteered in previous years. We welcome families to organize neighborhood teams to clean up roadside trash on their street. All help is appreciated.
New this year, Walter Stewart's Market and Planet New Canaan, will be providing a promotional give-away, while supplies last, for those who participate in Clean Your Mile - details forthcoming.
Garbage bags and a limited supply of grabbers for loan are available for pick up at the Town Hall-Public Works Department or Inland Wetlands. Dumpsters will be located in the train station commuter lot Friday-Sunday. Remember to work safe when cleaning roadside.
