The Great NS Pick-Me-Up program is a one-time litter facilitation program. You register a clean-up for an approved roadway, beach, shoreline, park, trail, or community of your choosing, complete the clean-up, and are in no way obligated to do it again in the same location. You can register for as many or as few clean-ups throughout the province as you’d like.

The NS Adopt-A-Highway program gives volunteers the opportunity to adopt a section of a roadway for a three-year period. During this time, volunteers agree to complete two clean-ups per year, usually one in the spring and one in the fall. After three years, you can renew your contract or disband your group. Signage is also given to our volunteer groups at either end of their adopted section after two clean-ups have been completed.
