Waterway Cleanups

LRNOW hosts cleanups along Virginia Beach waterways to remove marine debris, improve water quality, & keep our city’s waters healthy & safe.

LRNOW has 3 locations for the Adopt-a-Spot program through the City of Virginia Beach. These locations must be cleaned multiple times a year by our volunteers. Additionally, we host regular cleanups each month (usually the 2nd Saturday of the month) that anyone can attend. If your business or organization is looking to volunteer or you notice a place that is need of a clean up please reach out to discuss!
