Old Delaney Road Clean-Up - January 21, 2010          

Prince William Clean Community Council board member and volunteer, Lieutenant Cindy Depoy, and her crew from the Manassas Adult Detention Center cleaned up an area around Old Delaney road near the corner of Hoadly road and Prince William Parkway in Woodbridge. The area has been a haven for illegal dumping and graffiti. Cindy's crew consisted of 5 inmates and 1 officer. Their efforts yielded: 25 bags of litter, a couch, cushions, a basketball goal, a grill, two TV’s, a burned recliner, and improperly disposed of yard waste and construction material.

The inmate Work Force Program at the Prince William/Manassas Regional Adult Detention Center provides opportunities for non-violent offenders to work outside of the facility with an armed Officer. Inmate labor is used for community service and public projects. The labor used to carry out approved projects helps lower the financial burden of taxpayers within Prince William County and Manassas City.

Recent projects the Work Force inmates have participated in include: Litter pick-up on County Roadways, Snow Removal, Mowing of County and City properties, painting County buildings and assistance on various projects concerning Historic Preservation.

Mission                                                                                                              

Empower citizens and businesses to become self-sufficient stewards of the local environment through litter prevention, education and community involvement.

From the Executive Director

It is our belief that residents, business owners, parents, teachers and clergy must take proactive steps to keep our neighborhoods, shopping centers, schools and places of business clean and litter free.  

Please join me and other partners by participating in one or more of our volunteer programs.  Our programs are designed to provide volunteer opportunities for individuals, groups, youth, families and communities.  Most of our programs require minimum time requirements and can be done at the convenience of the individual or group.  

Graffiti is becoming a growing problem in the county.  Our “Graffiti Spotters” program was established to keep our communities free of graffiti.  Participants simply go onto the Prince William County wesite at pwcgov.org and enter the word "graffiti" in the search engine.  Scroll down and select the section "graffiti reporting form this will take you directly to the form.  If you do not have access to a computer you may call 703-792-7018 to report graffiti directly to the County's Property Code Enforcement complaint line.  Our office will contact the property owner about removal and provide free graffiti remover to residents.  As a graffiti spotter you would follow up by letting us know if and when the graffiti was removed.  We always need help with graffiti removal so if you want to actively participate in our new Graffiti Removers Program click on the Volunteer Programs menu and select Graffiti Spotters to find out how.

Please be sure to look at the different programs described on the website and decide which appeals to you and will fit into your schedule.  Think about how you can involve your family members, friends and neighbors too.

Please feel free to give us a call at 571-285-3772 or email me directly at [ email ] if you have any questions or ideas that you wish to share with us.  Please look for our new monthly newsletter, the first edition was November 1, 2009.  If you have any news worthy topics or articles you wish to share for our newsletter, please send to Carol Colon at [ email ].

Sincerely,

Brenda Evans
Executive Director
