Applications are now available for West Virginians to
sign up for this year’s Make It Shine Statewide Spring Cleanup. Volunteers have until March 1 to register with the state
Department of Environmental Protection. The annual event is jointly sponsored
by the DEP and the state Division of Highways.
During the first two weeks of April, the DEP’s Make It
Shine program will provide resources such as cleanup materials, waste hauling
and landfill fees to citizens volunteering to remove litter from the state’s
landscape. Cleanups must be conducted on public lands. Community
drop off sites, household garbage collection and cleanups on private property
do not qualify.
Last year, more than 4,800 volunteers participated in the
spring cleanup and removed roughly 220 tons of litter and debris from West
Virginia’s public lands and waters.
To obtain a Make It Shine application, contact Travis
Cooper at 1-800-322-5530, or email: Travis.L.Cooper@wv.gov. Applications may also be downloaded via the net at: www.dep.wv.gov. Click
on “REAP” under the Land Section on the DEP homepage.
