“Keep Leesburg Beautiful” Annual Community Clean Up
Campaign Begins April 1
Leesburg, VA (March 25, 2022) – The Town
of Leesburg’s 18th annual “Keep Leesburg
Beautiful” community clean-up and
beautification campaign will begin on April
1 and will run the entire month of April. An
official cleanup event will take place on
Saturday, April 2, at Raflo Park, beginning
at 10 a.m.
Keep Leesburg Beautiful 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. Groups and individuals interested in
participating should visit the Town of Leesburg website at www.leesburgva.gov/KLB for details
about how to volunteer and suggestions for litter collection locations. The Town of Leesburg
will provide safety vests, gloves and trash bags and will collect the filled bags and larger items
like tires and appliances.
Another way in which residents can get involved is by doing storm sewer inlet inventories.
Doing an inventory is as easy as taking a walk around your neighborhood. The Public Works and
Capital Projects Department will provide maps and inventory forms. Volunteers note on the
inventory forms any inlets that are blocked or need repair and return the forms to the town.
Street Division crews are dispatched to fix the problems identified.
For more information about the storm drain inventory program, including how to sign up, visit
the Town website at www.leesburgva.gov/KLB.
