Canoe Clean up
2023-08-13 08:30 - 15:00
Keep Loudoun Beautiful is gearing up for our annual canoe cleanup event. Join us as we paddle down the Potomac River collecting tires and trash found along and in the water.

This year’s cleanup event is set for Sunday, August 13th, rain or shine. (There will be NO RAIN DATE).

We will meet at the Brunswick Public Boat Ramp in Brunswick MD, off South Maple Ave, at 8:30 am. From there, we will board the shuttle bus to the put-in point and paddle down the Potomac River picking up trash and tires. The trip will end back at the Brunswick Public Boat Ramp around 1 pm where we will haul the trash and tires from the canoes into dumpsters. The day ends at 3 pm with a pizza lunch.

The event fee is $30 per person. There will be 2 persons per canoe. The event fee includes the canoe, paddle, safety vest, river guide, cleanup supplies, and a pizza lunch. The event fee helps to defray the cost of putting together the event and to avoid “no-shows”.

Volunteers must be at least 18 years old to participate.

Please wear closed-toed shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting wet. Bring a reusable water bottle, sunscreen, a towel, a hat, and a change of clothes. **This will be a plastic water bottle-free event.**

There is a limit of 20 canoes for this cleanup event, so sign up to reserve your canoe/spot before they’re all filled up!

This year we also need additional volunteers at the Brunswick Public Boat Ramp take-out point starting at 12:45 pm to help haul trash and tires from the canoes into the dumpsters. Please consider helping out if you would like participate in this river cleanup activity, but don’t want to be on the water in a canoe.

Please sign and bring waiver with you!

Purcellville cleanup
2024-03-16 09:00 - 12:00
The Keep Loudoun Beautiful Purcellville Trash Clean-Up is back! There will be one cleanup date with 2 time slots.

The cleanup will be held Saturday, March 16, 9am – noon and 1 pm – 4 pm.

We will assign you an area within the Town of Purcellville that your group will be responsible for cleaning. If you have particular requests regarding your preferred area, based on age of group members, transportation restrictions, etc., we will certainly work with you to honor those requests as closely as possible. At your chosen time, your group will travel to your designated area and pick up all the trash you can find. As you fill trash bags, you will leave them beside the road for pick up. Once you finish your area (it should take only an hour or two), you’re free to leave! Unless of course you’d like to help more, in which case we will be more than happy to direct you to additional areas that could benefit from trash cleanup!!

If you are interested in signing up to help with this year’s cleanup, please use signupgenius

with your preferred time and respond to this message with the following information:

Contact name, email address, and phone number (phone number optional)

Organization name, if applicable

Expected number of volunteers, age of volunteers

Preferred Date and Time for your cleanup

Any information I should know about your group: location requests (due to age/transportation), if you will need to pick up any materials ahead of time, etc.

Volunteers will meet on the date of their cleanup in front of the Purcellville Town Hall to collect necessary supplies and listen to a quick introduction. If your group is large, or transportation to the Town Hall will be a problem, you are welcome to send a single group representative to collect your group’s supplies, or coordinate with me to pick up supplies ahead of time. We will provide you with trash bags and safety vests (if you’re on a road), but you will need to bring your own gloves (I’d recommend work or gardening gloves), and wear long pants and closed-toe shoes.
