Want To Be Part of 2020's International Coastal Cleanup?!
Clean Virginia Waterways has announced they are a part of the Ocean Conservancy's International Coastal Cleanup for 2020! Clean Virginia Waterways is encouraging Many Mini-Cleanups with a smaller number of volunteers. As VWC says, the litter hasn’t stopped, and neither should we! So let’s do this! Take this opportunity to get out into nature…and help make it cleaner too.
Interested in leading a cleanup along your coast and in your watershed?
Leaders get a free bandanna and certificate for their team partaking in the International Coastal Cleanup!
Collect Data About Your Trash!
Please collect data about the trash you are finding -- your data will be used to help CVW understand trends and come up with solutions to marine debris and plastic pollution!

If your organization will have a staffed location and can serve as a Supply Pickup Location, please contact us at cleanva@longwood.edu! Many libraries, including the Hampton, VA Public Libraries have cleanup kits available year round for checking out! Be sure to call ahead to learn of the library hours.
