SYDNEY, N.S. — A Sydney couple is vowing to clean up playgrounds and other greenspaces of discarded drug paraphernalia as a payback to the community for ...

She said it’s their way of giving back to the community.

The couple said they have all the correct equipment from their work to do the cleanups safely and caution other people from picking up debris without the proper protection.“We're used to wearing suits, masks, chemical stuff, all the safety gear, right? Like we do asbestos, lead, mould, everything we do anyway. So the guys are used to dealing with that we do hazardous waste cleanup.

“Some of these smaller parks are kind of wooded in and it's not much lighting or stuff like that,” he said. “And that's why they're coming to playgrounds because there's nobody in these places and nobody can see them ."Krista said they are hoping other businesses will join in to support the effort. It’s starting with their own company volunteering time.
