Orange County Litter Control Committee offers a win-win fundraising program for non-profits, sports teams, civic groups, etc. Through this program, qualifying groups can receive up to $500 by
cleaning a road that has been identified by OC Litter Control. Typically, these roads have been submitted by a concerned resident using the Road Cleanup Request Form on the Orange County website. This program is a great opportunity for sports teams to help pay travel or tournament expenses, civic groups to help cover event costs, or for nonprofits to help make their resources go a little further. Even better, all cleanup supplies are provided by OC Litter Control. Frankly, as a fundraiser, this program ‘cleans up’ when compared to a typical bake sale, car wash, or lemonade stand.
There are restrictions to the program, and those interested should keep a few things in mind. Only organizations are eligible. Individuals and families cannot participate in the program as a fundraiser (however, they can still receive free supplies from OC Litter Control to host road cleanups). The interested organization must have at least five cleanup participants, must be able to provide a valid W- 9 form, and must complete a Volunteer Trash Pickup Program Form . For groups with youth members, a responsible adult must supervise any youth cleanup participants to ensure their safety. Additional requirements may apply. Roads will be assigned to a group based on the list of roads identified from submitted Cleanup Request Forms. Since this program is intended to help us address high-need roadways, groups cannot choose their own road . Don’t delay. Funds remain and several roads are identified and available for cleanup through this program right now!
Those with questions about the Litter Cleanup Fundraiser program should contact the Litter Control Committee Coordinator at (540) 672-9600.
