Prince William

WOODBRIDGE, Va. – Keep Prince William Beautiful, Inc. (KPWB) is organizing a community clean up that will be held on Saturday, March 10, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., behind Marumsco Plaza which is located along the Route 1 corridor in Woodbridge.

New Life Anointed Ministries International is partnering with KPWB by providing volunteers to pick up trash and debris in a wooded area which is located behind the Plaza and which faces the church. A perennial stream has been a major collection point for trash from pedestrian traffic and illegal dumping due in part to its semi-secluded location.
