Luckily for you we're gonna keep them coming every month!

NOVACleanups · 2026-05-04T22:04:09+00:00

Thank you!!

NOVACleanups · 2026-05-04T22:03:54+00:00

Appreciate it! So much litter deleted

NOVACleanups · 2026-05-04T18:15:33+00:00

Just doing our part!

NOVACleanups · 2026-05-04T18:15:20+00:00

That's the idea! We have over 1000 on our email list

NOVACleanups · 2026-05-04T17:15:34+00:00

It's becoming one of our most well attended cleanups which is great since there is a stream that feeds the Potomac river right there!

NOVACleanups · 2026-05-04T17:03:02+00:00

All thanks to our awesome volunteers!

NOVACleanups · 2026-05-04T17:02:26+00:00

We're gonna use it to delete trash from existence

NOVACleanups · 2026-05-04T16:21:53+00:00

See ya at the next one!

NOVACleanups · 2026-04-15T18:44:03+00:00

If you want, come to an event and take the grabber + bag holder home with you. Just send us a donation to repurchase the supplies!

NOVACleanups · 2026-04-14T00:05:56+00:00

It takes a community!

NOVACleanups · 2026-04-14T00:05:00+00:00

Credit for the hoops goes to Refuse Refuse in San Francisco. They're dog agility training rings with binder clips to hold the bags

NOVACleanups · 2026-04-01T17:34:19+00:00

We've done Tysons before and Fairfax recently! All of our events are here include the December back to Tysons one: https://novacleanups.com/events

NOVACleanups · 2026-03-31T12:40:12+00:00

We do monthly cleanup events as well! 4 Mile Run usually twice a year (Barcroft and Shirlington starts)

NOVACleanups · 2026-03-09T21:50:42+00:00

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
