The Adopt-A-Spot program encourages individuals and groups to take responsibility for litter prevention and property maintenance in Prince William County.  Volunteers agree to keep a designated area, other than a highway, cleared of litter; scheduling one clean-up per month (March – November).  

Volunteers are provided with materials to help them keep their adopted spots clean and have the option to have a sign furnished bearing their name installed in the general area of their adopted spot. Click this link to download a request for supplies.
