Talkoos in public areas
Would you like to organize a volunteer event? We can help! You can organize various cleaning and invasive species volunteer events in public areas. We will provide garbage bags, lend safety vests and litter pickers, and pick up the garbage bags from an agreed location. Safety vests are mandatory when working on road areas! Please also note that yard waste and garbage that falls under property responsibility cannot be brought from the sites. In clean-up events, metal and hazardous waste must be sorted separately.
Follow these steps:
- Once your volunteer group is assembled, appoint a responsible person. Their task is to create the volunteer announcement and act as the contact person.
- Create the volunteer announcement to Janakkala’s feedback service at least a week before the event.
- Select: Environment, nature, and playgrounds/ volunteer announcement
- Feedback topic: volunteer announcement
- In the feedback text field: the date and location of the event, the subject (clean-up or invasive species event), and the estimated number of participants. Add point locations on the map where the garbage bags will be left. Also indicate if you need safety vests, garbage bags, or litter pickers.
- Contact information of the volunteer coordinator
- Create the volunteer announcement to Janakkala’s feedback service at least a week before the event.
Alternatively, you can also call the maintenance work manager during office hours.
