Pete’s Pick: Form a Team for Clean Valley Day

Clean Valley Day is coming.

This valley-wide clean up promotes respect and care for our community. It is a fun, team-building opportunity for corporations, civic organizations, youth, and church groups. And it helps keep our greenways and blueways looking great.

Volunteers have participated in cleanups in Roanoke, Salem, Vinton, and Roanoke and Botetourt counties in recent years.

The event is scheduled for April 1 from 9 a.m. to noon at a location of your choosing.

Participation is easy:

  1. Pick your spot, such as a park, playground, roadside, stream bank, or your own neighborhood
  2. Get rid of the litter and make it a cleaner, healthier place for all
  3. Register online to join other volunteers (provided with trash bags and gloves)

There are clean up locations all over the region. You can find all of the areas of need from the Clean Valley Council.
