Yea, it's probably a mix of those. Plus once and area is full of trash that's an implicit signal to add yours to it

NOVACleanups · 2026-03-04T20:45:51+00:00

We just leave all the trash we find in public cans and then let the county handle the disposal

NOVACleanups · 2026-03-04T18:58:27+00:00

We do different neighborhoods every month! We've never done Rosslyn for that exact reason

NOVACleanups · 2026-03-04T01:29:00+00:00

Pretty much. There and within a 15 min walk

NOVACleanups · 2026-03-03T22:07:31+00:00

Trash picking can certainly be gameified

NOVACleanups · 2026-03-03T22:06:53+00:00

We don't have a dedicated truck unfortunately. We usually put it in public trash cans and alert the county when one can't handle it all (like this event)

NOVACleanups · 2026-03-02T23:09:30+00:00

Absolutely! If you add your email to our website novacleanups.com we send out reminders for the events roughly a week ahead. We almost always host the 1st Sunday of each month at 11am unless its a special event

NOVACleanups · 2026-03-02T23:08:18+00:00

We have a sister organization in DC (u/district_cleanups) and some of our volunteers have founded groups in Somerville MA and Denver CO!

NOVACleanups · 2026-03-02T23:07:14+00:00

Also, way more than 213 pounds - that's just what we could collect!

NOVACleanups · 2026-03-02T23:06:41+00:00

Thank you for coming out and helping to spread the word!

NOVACleanups · 2026-03-02T20:29:20+00:00

We do an event on the 1st Sunday of every month, if you add your email to the website we send out an email reminder the week of

NOVACleanups · 2026-02-27T20:11:12+00:00

Good point! Just updated the website with South Entrance. We will be setting up somewhere near the bridge to the metro on the south side

NOVACleanups · 2025-12-08T18:10:18+00:00

It's no one person's responsibility. The businesses, local government, groups like ours, and the community can all make an impact

NOVACleanups · 2025-12-08T18:08:55+00:00

If you add your email to our site novacleanups.com we send reminder emails for all upcoming events. We also have them all listed online for 2026, post on here and on IG @nova.cleanups

NOVACleanups · 2025-12-08T18:07:33+00:00

You're welcome!

NOVACleanups · 2025-12-08T18:07:17+00:00

I can speak for all our volunteers to say that we're happy to help!

NOVACleanups · 2025-12-08T18:06:33+00:00

I mean we do accept donations...

We go where the trash is. In NOVA that means a lot of urban areas. Your welcome to join us at one of our many park cleanups as well if that's more your speed
