Step Up. Speak Out. Clean Up.

Be the Change you Wish to See in the World

🌟 Volunteer for Fun and Fulfillment

Since [Founding Year], Waste Watchers of Virginia’s Eastern Shore has thrived on the dedication and passion of volunteers like you. Our mission to reduce litter, promote recycling, and protect the natural beauty of our Shore is only possible because people step up to make a difference.

We are powered almost entirely by volunteers—which means your time, talents, and energy are essential to everything we do.

💚 Why Volunteer?

Volunteering with Waste Watchers isn’t just about picking up trash—though that’s a great place to start! It’s about:

  • Making new friends who care about the environment.

  • Creating visible, lasting impact in your community.

  • Helping preserve the Eastern Shore’s natural beauty for future generations.

  • Feeling proud of where you live—and helping others feel the same.
