Updated June 4, 2020
Many Cleanfarms collections and recycling programs are continuing without delay in the 2020 season with increased hygiene and social distancing practices by contractors and at all collection sites. View COVID-19: Best Management Practices at Cleanfarms Collection Sites
The health and safety of our partners and the farm community is always of utmost importance and especially so during this difficult time. While Cleanfarms and our collections contractors are working hard to reduce service disruptions, the availability of certain collections programs may be delayed. Please watch this page for updates.
For more information or to convey program changes
Cleanfarms is working very closely with our service contractors to increase safety precautions. If your site has any safety concerns with Cleanfarms’ programs or if you anticipate any changes to services, please let us know so we can inform stakeholders.
