Mission Environmental Stewardship Society

Mission Environmental Stewardship Society MESS is a non-profit organization that delivers comprehensive waste diversion and anti-litter programming to the residents of Mission, B.C.

We recruit and encourage volunteers of all ages to take responsibility for the litter in their chosen block areas: residential, business or green space. We provide efficient tools for litter pick up, and give litter handling safety direction for those that commit to litter pick up. As part of our community, we participate in community events by setting up our information booths, provide activities

for the kids and help with event litter pick up management. We also organize annual community litter clean-ups, and target heavily littered areas. We work with local groups and concerned citizens to develop solutions for the litter problem in Mission. We also provide School District #75 with an education program that teaches students about litter: problems and concerns, and how to foster social responsibility among student. We encourage students to be pro-active in their approach to achieving a cleaner and healthier environment!

We believe that a key part of protecting the environment from the negative impacts of litter and illegally dumped waste is educating youth to develop good waste-management habits!🌎

The MESS School Program has reached 12 classrooms and engaged 212 students, teachers, and educational assistants so far in 2026. Students learn about the impacts of litter on the environment and actively participate in a litter cleanup of their schoolyard or a nearby area.

Thank you Into the Woods - Nature Immersion & education for toughing out the rain with MESSociety last week at Norrish Creek! 🌧🌎 We had some great conversations about the impacts of litter on the environment and how we can all do our part to reduce litter in Mission.
