Orange County ’ s Initiatives
Before the COVID - 19 pandemic, the Central Virginia Regional Jail (CVRJ) Workforce (made up of inmates) was responsible for a large portion of the litter control initiative in Orange County. CVRJ provides the County Administrator ’ s Office with a schedule for the year, and they assign tasks, which also includes assisting in other County projects. While the CVRJ Workforce crew is a huge asset in litter control, there are simply too many roads with too much litter for them to keep up. The Orange County Board of Supervisors and the Litter Control Committee continue to work on initiatives to involve and educate businesses and citizens.
