Essex County is parterning with Keep Virginia Beautiful, is working for the “Clean Essex Project” trash pick-up campaign initiative for 2021. Officials ask residents to take pride in their community and become a “Trash Trooper” by filling bags and counting them then take ’em to the local dump. But before you unload the trash take a photo to enter into a contest for a donation to your favorite Essex County community organization. Register at essexcountyrec.com.
