Burlington Green is planning plenty of ways to celebrate Earth Day this Saturday ― and beyond.
Some 200 participants have registered for the Community Tree Planting at Millcroft Park (4250 Millcroft Park Dr.). The event will include opening remarks at 9:30 a.m. by Mayor Marianne Meed Ward and a blessing provided by WhiteEagle. The rain-or-shine event is expected to finish up at about 11:30 a.m..
Local residents can also get involved at the BurlingtonGreen Eco-Hub headquarters from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. In addition to a beach litter/butt blitz, there will be a guided tree walk at 1:30 p.m. and the Repair Cafe will be offering their service indoors (rain or shine) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Additional activities include pollinator seed-ball making, bird-friendly displays/resources and more.
E-waste drive Saturday, May 13
Burlington Green, along with crew members from the Electronic Recycling Association, will be at the Burlington Centre parking lot from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to accept computer and cell phone electronics; a series of Terracycle Zero Waste bins will be available to accept waste items not currently accepted in Halton Region’s recycling program.

Volunteers from the Burlington Repair Cafe will also be on hand during the e-waste collection event to help community members with simple repairs to household items to give them a new lease on life.
