WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Saturday, April 21 2012, Keep Prince William Beautiful (formerly Prince William Clean Community Council) conducted its third annual “Route 1 Cleanup “ from 9 a.m. to noon. Keep Prince William Beautiful partnered with Woodbridge District Supervisor Frank Principi’s office to recruit local volunteers for litter and debris removal along the nearly 13-mile stretch of U.S. 1 that runs through Woodbridge, Dumfries, and Triangle.
This year’s efforts resulted in 2,300 pounds of litter and debris removed from the U.S. 1 corridor thanks to volunteers from Harvest Life Changers Church, PotomacLocal.com, Woodbridge Potomac Communities Civic Association as well as many other local volunteers.
For information on how you can be involved in next year’s Route 1 Cleanup, and on-going cleanup efforts throughout Prince William County, contact Keep Prince William Beautiful at 571-285-3772 or visit keepprincewilliambeautiful.org.
