Keep Prince William Beautiful (KPWB) will be completing our Annual Route 1 Clean-Sweep, sponsored by CSX, on April 18, 2015 between 9 am-12 pm. Volunteers are encouraged from all over the county and surrounding areas to donate their time and efforts to our mission. As there is no shortage of litter, we have room for everyone who has the time or passion to assist our cause.

No experience is required and no amount of time and effort will be turned away. This is a great opportunity to perform some community service, or simply the perfect juncture for your local youth group or community organization to spend a morning giving back to our environment. The day will begin with litter and safety education and training, followed by the community clean-up, encompassing overlooked and under-attended stretches of the Route 1 corridor. Food and refreshments will be provided as well as volunteer site-guides, equipment and supplies. This will be a productive and inspiring day that we strongly encourage everyone to take part in.
During last year’s Clean-Sweep we removed over 1,000 pounds of trash over nine miles of Prince William, with the help of over 140 volunteers. This year, our goal is to crush last year’s numbers; we truly cannot do it without you!
