Volunteers have until Monday, Feb. 15, to submit applications for the 2010 West Virginia Make It Shine Statewide Cleanup. This annual event is jointly sponsored by the Department of Environmental Protection and the Division of Highways.
During the first two weeks of April, the Make It Shine program will provide resources such as cleanup materials, waste hauling and landfill fees to community groups volunteering to conduct litter cleanups on state streams or public lands.
Over 2,500 West Virginia citizens participated in last year’s statewide cleanup. These volunteers removed more than 150 tons of litter and over 5,300 tires from our state’s landscape.
Applications are available through contacting Travis Cooper of the Make It Shine Program at 1-800-322-5530, or by email at: Travis.L.Cooper@wv.gov. Applications may also be downloaded via the net at: www.dep.wv.gov.
