## MUNICIPALITY OF THE DISTRICT OF SHELBURNE
## Policy Statement
## Community Litter Clean-Up - Incentive Program Policy
It is the policy of Council that:
1. A monetary incentive will be offered to groups taking part in the Nova Scotia Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal (NSDTIR) Litter Clean-up Program to clean litter from the ditches and roadways within the Municipality of the District of Shelburne.
2. Groups will be paid a rate to be determined by Council per kilometer for cleaning both sides of the highway.
3. A minimum of 1 km must be cleaned in order to qualify for the incentive.
4. Payment will be made to the group holding the permit issued by the NSDTIR.
5. A copy of the permit issued by NSDTIR must be provided to the Municipal Office prior to clean-up.
6. Litter collected must be separated into recyclables, organics and residual waste. Any refundable materials such as cans and bottles may be collected and taken away by the individual and/or group as a fundraiser.
7. Collected litter will be properly bagged and left at a designated area for pick up and disposal by employees of the Municipality.
8. The section of highway indentified on the permit must be inspected by a Municipal Official prior to the clean-up. This will determine the amount of litter in the area and whether a clean-up is required.
9. Immediately following the clean-up another inspection will be carried out.
10. If the Municipal Official is satisfied that the area has been adequately cleaned of litter then the incentive will be paid.
