Orange County Staff Set New Record During #OCDayofService Road Cleanup
By: Orange County Communications Department
Orange County staff prepare to clean adopted highway sections on the #OCDayofService!
Orange County employees rolled up their sleeves and made a big difference during this year’s #OCDayofService. On Friday April 3, staff members took to the roads for a lunchtime litter cleanup along the county’s adopted sections of Route 20, Porter Road, and Bloomsbury Road and set a new record in the process. Thanks to the hard work of 28 volunteers, an impressive 40 bags of trash were collected!
The cleanup brought together representatives from multiple departments and partners, including the Orange County Sheriff’s Office (Jason C. Smith, Sheriff), FiberLync Internet, the Office on Youth, Parks & Recreation, General Services, Human Resources, and Administration. Their teamwork not only beautified our roadways, but also highlighted the shared commitment across county agencies to keeping Orange County clean and safe.

This year’s effort was scheduled in coordination with the Orange County Public Schools Day of Service, creating a powerful county ‑ wide moment of giving back. As if perfectly timed, one cleanup volunteer found an intact sticker along the roadside that captured the spirit of the day, proof that sometimes the road really does send encouragement.
Looking for a way to give back?
Residents who feel inspired to join in can take advantage of resources offered by Orange County Litter Control, which provides free supplies for individuals or groups interested in organizing their own road cleanups. Nonprofit organizations can even use cleanup events as a fundraising opportunity!
