Since 1995, members of the community have banded together to clean up roadways and dump sites throughout the county.
That tradition continues this year when Rockbridge Conservation, in partnership with Rockbridge County and the Virginia Department of Transportation, sponsors the Rockbridge Community Clean-up March 2331.
Groups and individuals are encouraged to sign up online at the RC website, www.rockbridgeconservation. org/cleanup by clicking on the green Community Clean-Up button. Bags and vests are available at the Rockbridge Regional Library branches and the county recycling collection centers. Volunteers choose the roads/locations in the Rockbridge area that they wish to clean and can also choose alternate dates and times if needed.
Groups may wish to compete for the Litter Cup, fashioned by Mark Cline, which is awarded to the group collecting the most bags during the event. To claim the cup this year and unseat last year’s winners, participants must be prepared to collect more than 100 bags.
To suggest any particular areas that should be targeted through the Rockbridge Community Clean-up, notify Barbara Walsh at (540) 4632330 or send an email to cleanup@rockbridgeconservation. org.
