Keep America Beautiful

For the month of September 2020 we are asking those that live, work and play in Oconee County to participate in our annual Great American Cleanup by hosting their own cleanups. This can be done individually or in small groups and can be done anywhere, anytime and all we ask is for data . How many people, how long and how much did you clean, where did you clean up and to please forward pictures for social media use. We can provide grabbers, bags, safety vests and face masks upon request.

For our October Community Litter Cleanup, we are partnering with the Town of Dumfries. We'll be meeting at 17755 Main Street, Dumfries, VA 22026 and we'll spread out from there to remove litter from the public spaces in Dumfries. We have two check in times for volunteers, capped at 10 volunteer slots each, to minimize contact with other volunteers. Please wear a mask at check-in. The Town of Dumfries will provide all supplies (litter pickers, trash bags, gloves, and safety vests) and we will have hand sanitizer and a first aid kit on hand. Please wear weather-appropriate clothes and close-toed shoes. Bring a water bottle (we'll have a refilling station) to stay hydrated.
