“Keep Leesburg Beautiful” Cleanup Campaign Returns
A kickoff event will be held on Saturday, April 10, 2021
Leesburg, VA (March 26, 2021) – The Town of Leesburg’s 17th annual “Keep Leesburg Beautiful” community clean-up and beautification campaign will begin on April 1, 2021 and will run the entire month of April.
The campaign is an opportunity for the public to get involved in cleaning up the Town. Residents, neighborhood and community groups, and businesses are encouraged to participate by forming teams to collect litter along roadsides, stream beds, and other public common areas.
A kick-off event will be held on Saturday, April 10 from 9 to 11 a.m. Participants will be able to pick up safety vests, gloves, and trash bags at the Liberty Street parking lot.
Due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic and to avoid unnecessary interaction and congregation of participants, a drive-through will be set up. Everyone is reminded to wear masks and gloves during all clean-ups. Small groups, social distancing, and frequent hand washing is encouraged. Anyone with symptoms of COVID-19 are being asked to stay home.
