Following spring cleanup efforts in Regina, residents in Moose Jaw followed suit with their own ‘Community Cleanup Day.’

“Everyone is encouraged to get out and pick some garbage,” Moose Jaw Major Clive Tolley told CTV News.

“If you don’t have a bag from the Co-op, get out and use your own garbage bag.”

Moose Jaw resident Dianne Trodd and her family spent their time cleaning up a section of road they pass by everyday.

“Today was that day that we took care of it and cleaned it up,” she said.

“We got to see the before and after of the garbage and the things that were in the ditches of the area we were at. Then we drove past it on the way back and saw how beautiful it looked.”

According to the city, around 70 volunteers were out in force, tidying up after the long winter season.
