Clean-Up Days
The Council regularly hosts weekday clean-up events in an effort to address some of our local litter problem areas. These events are scheduled during the monthly meetings.
Cargo Nets for Pick-up Trucks and Trailers
In order to assist residents to meet Warren County Code §102-2 “Covering of Vehicles Transporting Garbage or Trash” which requires that no vehicle shall be operated or moved on any highway unless it is constructed, maintained and loaded as to prevent its contents from dropping, sifting, leaking or otherwise escaping. The Anti-Litter Council provides Town and County residents cargo nets at no cost that can be picked up at the Warren County Government Center in the Planning Department, Suite 400. Each household is limited to one cargo net.
Adopt-A-Street Program
The Town of Front Royal Public Works Department oversees the Town’s Adopt-A-Street Program. If you or your organization would like to learn more about this program, please contact the Public Works Department at (540) 635-7819, Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM - 3:30 PM, or

Community Clean-Up Supplies to Loan
To support local organizations or citizens who want to make a difference in their community. The Council loan out supplies such as bags, gloves, grabbers, safety vests and signage to make clean-up programs a successful and safe event. Contact the ALC if you would like to reserves some supplies for your next clean-up.
Youth Education Materials
The Anti-Litter Council gives out backpacks, coloring books, and stickers to school age children during various events throughout the year. These promote recycling, keeping the earth litter free, and clean water habits.
Annual Awards Program for Community and Youth Groups and School Projects

Parks and Recreation Trash Bins, Recycle Bins and Dog Waste Receptacles
