Event Description:
Chamber Announces April as Clean-Up Preston Month!
Kingwood, W.Va., - March 29, 2022 -April is Clean-Up Preston Month!
The Preston County Chamber of Commerce and Friends of the Cheat encourage Preston County residents to clean up their local roadsides and individual homes and properties during April’s Clean-Up Preston. Help us keep your neighborhood clean and Preston County healthy — for our families, the environment, the economy, the community, and for future generations.
Remember that strong communities attract tourism and jobs. Tourists and businesses are attracted to clean, healthy communities with people who care about where they live. Attracting tourism and new businesses is important to the local economy, creating more employment opportunities and higher-paying jobs.
We also encourage you to Take a "before" photo of an area that needs some cleaning or maintenance, then take an "after" photo after you've improved the area. Post it on Facebook and/or Instagram with #cleanuppreston @prestonchamber @friendsofthecheat.
We will select four winners (!) who will receive a gift certificate to a local restaurant, courtesy of the Preston County Chamber of Commerce.
It’s a WIN-WIN! We can support local restaurants, enjoy a cleaner, happier community and show our pride in the place we are so lucky to call home. #prestoncountyproud.
Roadside clean-up supplies including bags and pickers are available by calling Preston County Litter Control Officer Jay Sowers at (304) 698-5594. Participants may also use their own bags. Please gather bags/debris to a single, easy access area.
For collection, please promptly contact Officer Sowers at (304) 698-5594.
