Submit Your Data Card – Great NS Pick Me Up

After completing your clean-up, please submit your data by filling out the following information. Your data is very important to us, as it allows us to make key judgements on the behaviour of litterers in Nova Scotia. These finding can be used to affect policy decisions in municipal and provincial government! If you want to see lasting change in your community, make sure to submit your data each time you complete a clean-up.

Submitting your data may also win you a prize! Each group that submits a data card is automatically entered in our Data Card Contest, which happens twice per season in the Spring and Fall. If you find a strange litter item, be sure to list it in the ‘Most Unusual Items’ section to be considered for our Weird Litter Item Spring and Fall Contests.

If you have any additional comments or feedback, fill out the Comments/Feedback section at the bottom of the page.
