Join Harper’s Ferry Paddling for a cleanup:

Sunday April 2nd at 12pm.

Potoma Wayside

Road side clean up or canoe/kayak (that you bring) clean up event.

The plan is to pick up road side trash anytime the week before 4/3. This is a VA Collection so anything along US 340 between the Potomac Bridge and WV state line is included. The river bank and the flood zone that is Potoma Wayside Park the US 340 Road side and the Banks of Piney Creek on the other side of 340 is the focus of this clean up. Anyone can collect trash in this area the week before the 4/3 bag it and set it in one of the collection locations and it will get hauled out. Setting a group date and time for those that would like to make an event out of it. Please if you use this takeout consider spending some time pulling out so trash that will end up in the river unless we remove it before it gets to the river. I’ll have bags for collection at site on day of event. Otherwise pleas bring a bag and fill it and set it at a collection site and it will be picked up.

River and Trail will open up parking on there lot to us. As well as supplying collection bags/and some man power.

I’ll have some reflective vests for roadside collectors. Will mark the two collection points the week before so if you go and collect during the week before you will know where to set out your collection.

“Keep Leesburg Beautiful” Campaign Begins April 1

The Town of Leesburg’s annual “Keep Leesburg Beautiful” campaign will begin on April 1 and will run through the entire month. An official cleanup event will take place on Saturday, April 22, at Raflo Park, beginning at 10 a.m.

Keep Leesburg Beautiful is an opportunity for the public to get involved in cleaning up the Town. Residents, neighborhood and community groups, and businesses are encouraged to participate by forming teams to collect litter along roadsides, stream beds, and other public common areas.

Groups and individuals interested in participating should visit the Town of Leesburg website at www.leesburgva.gov/KLB for details about how to volunteer and suggestions for litter collection locations. The Town of Leesburg will provide safety vests, gloves and trash bags and will collect the filled bags and larger items like tires and appliances.

Another way in which residents can get involved is by doing storm sewer inlet inventories. Doing an inventory is as easy as taking a walk around your neighborhood. The Public Works and Capital Projects Department will provide maps and inventory forms. Volunteers note on the inventory forms any inlets that are blocked or need repair and return the forms to the town. Street Division crews are dispatched to fix the problems identified.

For more information about the storm drain inventory program, including how to sign up, visit the Town website at www.leesburgva.gov/KLB.

Cascades Trash Bash
2022-10-16 12:30 - 17:00 | Cascades Trash Bash, 20430 Quarterpath Trace Circle, Sterling, Virginia, United States
Registration is closed- we are full Thank you!

Celebrate fall and enjoy the beautiful Virginia foliage with your family, neighbors, scout troop, or school group and make a difference in your community by cleaning up litter around the Cascades area and Sugarland Run flood plain.

When: Sunday October 16th, 2022 starting at 12:30 pm.

Where: We’ll be meeting at the Quarterpath Trace Community Center, at 20430 Quarterpath Trace Circle, Sterling, VA 20165, which is at the intersection of Algonkian Pkwy and Quarterpath Trace Circle. Restrooms will be available at the Quarterpath Trace Community Center.

This year we are requiring registration for everyone who’d like to participate. We are trying to assign areas beforehand to be more prepared and help things move smoother.

We will provide safety vests, bags, grabbers (we will ask small groups to share 1 grabber), fruit, and water/lemonade served in an environmentally friendly manner, so please remember to bring your own reusable water bottle! In line with our mission, this will be a “plastic bottle-free zone” so be prepared; we never ever provide single use bottled water bottles at any of our events (after picking up your first few dozen, you’ll understand why).

We are especially looking for able-bodied volunteers 16 years or older, to help in the floodplain area where the bulk of the trash and litter will be. The floodplain area is muddy and close to streams, so waterproof boots, waders, or sturdy shoes are a must. We do go into the water that is waist high. We also need people who will help haul full bags of trash/recycling and tires from the flood plan to the pickup truck we will have nearby.

For volunteers cleaning along roadways, please wear proper footwear for walking. We have reusable gloves to share but we highly recommend bringing yours (they can be your gardening gloves).

Scout troops– We have KLB badges for the Scouts! If you are a Girl Scout or Boy Scout troop, please indicate in the sign up your troop number, age of troop, and the number of kids and adults participating.

REUSE YOUR T-SHIRTS FROM PRIOR YEARSIn an effort to reduce our ecological footprint, we are not printing new t-shirts for this event. But we will have t-shirts from past years that you can take that are brand new, never used. We’ve seen so many t-shirts at donation centers that end in landfills so we are trying to figure out better giveaways. However, we do encourage you to bring your KLB t-shirt from previous events you have attended. We will also have safety vests for visibility.

FOOD DRIVEWe will be collecting food for Dulles South Food Pantry, and they are particularly in need of these items (but any non-perishable, not expired food or toiletries will be accepted). If you can contribute with some of these, that will be very much appreciated but it is not a requirement to participate.Shaped Pasta NoodlesTomato PasteWhite BeansChickpeas/Garbanzo BeansCanned ChickenSardinesCanned Green BeansCanned peasCanned CornBar Soap

SNEAKER COLLECTION:We will also be collecting gently used sneakers/cleats (no other shoe types) for our GotSneakers fundraising program. Sizes 3.5 and higher are accepted. We’ll make sure they get a second chance to be useful, either for somebody else or to be properly recycled.

HELP US FIND MORE LOCATIONS TO CLEAN:If you have seen litter in the Cascades area (park, roadway, school, anything) that is in need of folks to clean up, please email alicia@keeploudounbeautiful.org and report it so we can add it to our list of areas to clean up.

COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURSSince the Cascades Trash Bash & Food Drive is a community service event, it most likely qualifies for community service hours for your school, scout troop, or other organization. Just be sure to bring your forms for us to sign.
