Encouraging Corporations to Keep Virginia Cozy

Keep Virginia Cozy is now providing cleanup opportunities for corporations to get their teams outside, pick up some litter, enjoy each other’s company and show the community that their business cares. So far, more than 40 local businesses have beautified bus stops, green spaces, neighborhoods and communal spaces, resulting in more than 8,000 pounds of litter and recycling being removed. 

Led by Brian Bell and fueled entirely by volunteers and community support, Keep Virginia Cozy has removed more than 44 tons of litter and recycling from our public lands since 2017. This local nonprofit works to conserve our lands by connecting and educating people, promoting inclusivity and increasing accessibility; their motto is: Be Kind. Pick Up Litter. Get Involved. Protect Nature. Through unique community partnerships and practices like using spent grain bags from local breweries and reusable gloves, their efforts produce zero waste.
