Reporting Your Cleanup is Rewarding

Lake Anna volunteers cleaning up the roads.We’re about halfway through our Fall LOVE VA cleanup campaign! We’re encouraging everyone to get out in the beautiful Autumn weather to clean litter off the roadside, parking lots, playgrounds, or other areas where you see a need.  It’s good for your health and good for the community!

Then make sure to let us know what you’ve accomplished!  For our 70th anniversary this year, our goal is to have at least 70 reports submitted, with at least 700 bags of litter picked up over the course of the event.

And right now, when you submit the results of your cleanup, your name will be entered to win some fun PRIZES!  We’re giving away Litter Cleanup Kits, At-Home Sustainability Sampler Kits, Personal Care Sustainability Sampler Kits, and On-the-Go Sustainability Sampler Kits.  You can learn more about our prizes by visiting our Litter Prevention webpage.

You can also support Keep Virginia Beautiful and LOVE VA with a financial contribution.  All donations of at least $25 will receive a one-day free pass to any Virginia State Park.  Donations of at least $100 are eligible to receive either a deluxe cleanup kit or an automobile trash receptacle.

We want to give a special shout out to Jody K. and her team in Lake Anna, pictured above, for cleaning up the roadside several times in the last few weeks; and to Charles T. in Emporia picking up litter on the roadStephen and his Village Bank team who cleaned up in Midlothian; to Destin and the Clean Club at VCU who picked up 169 pounds Teens completed a road litter cleanupof litter!  Also to Joseph and a group of 15 members from VFW POST 7327 who each spent an hour picking up a bag of litter.

Charles in Emporia sent us a selfie during his cleanup, and a group of teens in Spotsylvania sent us a picture after they spent their time picking up litter too.

So far we’ve received reports of 182 bags of litter, 6 bags of recycling, and 112 volunteers, who gave 197 hours of their time!  Thank you for the important work you’re doing, and for reporting your accomplishments to us!

And now for a special bonus!  If you’re reading today’s Latest News post, we want to thank you for caring about litter in our environment!  We’ll ship a free cleanup kit to the first 10 people to submit a request using this form.  Each cleanup kit includes a litter grabber, safety vest, work gloves, and goodies, as available!  Good luck!
