CHARLESTON, W.Va. – Applications are now available for the 2017 West Virginia Make It Shine Statewide Cleanup.
This annual event is jointly sponsored by the West Virginia 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.
