Every day, hundreds of people walk around Summerland. Locals and visitors walk our sidewalks, streets, parks, and our beach. Whether intentional or not, all kinds of litter ends up on the ground all over town and on the sand at the beach. We have created the Pick-Up Posse to organize a team that will help to make Summerland litter-free.
It is our goal to make sure we are keeping our town beautiful, safe, and inviting and making sure there is no litter accomplishes all three. You’ll see our Posse around town with their Summerland Beautiful yellow vests, and pick up claws picking up cigarette butts on street corners and disposing of half-full coffee cups and creamer pods. You’ll see them coming up the ramps at the beach with full bags of litter. But they are more than trash picker-uppers. You’ll also see them acting as ambassadors for Summerland by assisting visitors with directions and making restaurant and shopping recommendations.
