Pilot project aims to clean up Prince Albert’s image
Lately, the area outside Prince Albert has been looking more like a giant yard sale than a welcome mat for visitors.
People have been illegally dumping mattresses, furniture, even roof shingles in the ditches.
A group comprised of 15 local agencies is hoping to change peoples’ attitudes through education and clean-up events.
“Anybody in the city would notice that there’s litter on the streets on a regular basis, but outside the city in the rural areas, it’s maybe a little bit better hidden and we don’t see the different materials that are being dumped,” said Charlene Tebbutt, with the Prince Albert and District Chamber of Commerce.
