In November, Prince William County will join communities across the nation in celebration of America Recycles Day (ARD). ARD, an initiative of Keep America Beautiful, is an annual awareness campaign dedicated to promoting and celebrating recycling on Nov. 15 since 1997.
To celebrate America Recycles Day, County staff and Keep Prince William Beautiful volunteers will be available from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Central Library on Nov. 10 and Chinn Park Regional Library on Nov. 12 to talk with residents about recycling in Prince William County and share interactive recycling activities
Prince William County will join other Metropolitan Washington Council of Government (MWCOG) jurisdictions and invite all residents to acknowledge a commitment to recycling and win prizes! Residents may take the 2025 “I Recycle” pledge online at mwcog.org/recyclesday through Nov. 21. Prince William Library visitors can also show their support for recycling and enter the “I Recycle” pledge contest during the Solid Waste event.
The contest, hosted by MWCOG, is designed to promote recycling and purchasing items made from recycled materials. One lucky recycling supporter will win a $300 REI gift certificate, and one lucky K-12 student will win a $300 REI gift certificate, plus a $500 grant for a recycling or environmental program at their school. For 11 of the past 12 years, a Prince William entrant has won a MWCOG regional prize.
