407 ETR Team picking up litter

Team Cleanups

We organize litter cleanups from April to November across Southern Ontario. We collaborate with your team to select a convenient date and location for the event. Our staff arrives on-site equipped with all the necessary tools to facilitate the cleanup process.

During the event, we sort through the collected litter to gather data on the types of waste found, while also ensuring that recyclable materials are properly processed. After the cleanup, we take a group photo and express our gratitude. We use the data collected to create an infographic detailing the impact of the cleanup, which we will share with your team.

Each cleanup lasts for two hours and can accommodate up to 100 participants. The fee for this service begins at $1,000, with all proceeds directly supporting our programming efforts.

  • Corporate Social Responsibility

    Being part of the community is important. Taking part in local initiatives helps improve different aspects of society as well as promote a positive brand image for your company. CSR also enhances job satisfaction and overall feelings about an employee’s workplace.

  • Team Building

    Bringing your team together through an interactive activity is something that they can feel good about. The opportunity to get outside, work together, and learn something new leaves everyone with a smile on their face and a sense of accomplishment.

  • Environmental Sustainability

    We all need to do our part to protect the environment. Participating in our programming is not only helping the local environment by removing litter, your team is also contributing to our data collection which is used to develop solutions and support regulations that will protect the environment into the future.

Team Nurdle Hunts

A nurdle is a small plastic pellet commonly used in the production of new plastic products. Unfortunately, these pellets often escape into the environment, leading to significant issues such as contamination of drinking water and harm to wildlife. It is crucial that we address this problem through cleanup efforts.

Our Nurdle Hunts offer an engaging educational experience while promoting team building. Participants receive comprehensive training that equips them with the skills to become proficient nurdle hunters. These hunts are conducted along the shores of Lake Ontario in carefully selected areas known for high nurdle concentrations. Following the event, our team will provide an informative infographic showcasing the positive impact your team made during the cleanup.

Past participants have consistently praised this activity, resulting in high demand and limited availability. Join us for a rewarding experience that combines environmental stewardship with teamwork. Reserve your spot today.
