Aldie/Hartland community Cleanup
2023-04-22 10:00 - 15:00
Join neighbors on Sat, April 22nd at 10:00 am for a Community-Wide Clean-up. Supplies will be provided!

Keeping Hartland beautiful takes a Community effort! Overflowing trash, especially loose recyclables, can become quickly windblown. Whether it is unsecured, a result of a tipped can, or less than tidy collection, loose items quickly become a community concern independent of the property line.

Together we can get Hartland ready for the Spring – This is a family friendly event!

Please review the available slots below and click on the button to sign up. Thank you!

There will be a porta-john on site or bathroom accommodation on site.

Lunch will be provided for everyone. If there are specific allergies or preferences, please let us know when we confirm our volunteer numbers the week before.

Town of Purcellville cleanup
2023-04-15 08:00 - 14:00
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, April 15, 8am – 10am and on Saturday, April 15, 12 pm – 2 pm.

I will assign you the area of Purcellville that your group will be responsible for. If you have particular requests regarding your preferred area, based on age of group members, transportation restrictions, etc., I 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 I 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 fill out the Sign Up Genius 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. I 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.

Let me know if you have any questions, I hope to hear from you soon.Sincerely,Clay GrisiusPurcellville Area Leader & Volunteer Coordinator

Committee Member on Youth Education

KEEP LOUDOUN BEAUTIFUL, ANNUAL SPRING CLEANUP, TAYLORSTOWN, 2023

Hi Folks, it’s that time of the year again when we can make Taylorstown look beautiful! I can’t do it alone. Thank you so much to those who have helped in years past. 😉

During the month of April, as part of the Keep Loudoun Beautiful campaign, the Taylorstown community will once again be picking up trash along the roadways.

We need volunteers to help with this effort. Orange bags and safety vests will be provided in a green bin at Tami’s driveway at 12969 Taylorstown Rd. Come by anytime to pick up supplies.

You can clean up an area anytime through April. Text or email me so I can tell you what roads are available. (see bottom) or sooner if you like.

I’ll take anyone who wants to clean-up Lovettsville Rd starting and including McKimmey’s landing at the Point of Rocks bridge to Downey Mill Rd. The route number is 672. It is a bit dangerous and tough. Taylorstown Rd, Route 663 from Wilt Store Rd to Springhollow Lane is also available.

Filled orange bags should be left along the road where the VDOT trucks can collect them.

After you have cleaned an area, please text or email me and let me know so I can contact VDOT to pick up the filled bags.

Thank you for helping keep our Taylorstown area clean!

This is great opportunity for girl or boy scout troops to get badges etc. or others (teens) to get volunteer hours.

Contact person: Tami Carlow, 540-822-5939 or tcarlow@aol.com

Town of Leesburg clean up
2023-04-02 00:00 - 2023-04-30 23:59
“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.
