As part of Keep Manassas Beautiful, volunteers can take on the responsibility of picking up litter at a specific location or street within the City of Manassas. Volunteer organizations are recognized by having their name on two (2) roadside signs provided by the City.
If you have the ability to remove the bags and set them out with your trash, then they will be collected as part of regular service. If, however, you are unable to take the bags with you; please set them together in a easy to find spot and call (703) 257-8256. We will arrange to have them collected.

Keep Manassas Beautiful is a program for active volunteers interested in helping to keep our public spaces clean. No signs with your group's name will be posted until the applicant group performs a minimum of six cleanups. All clean-up activity must be reported online through our activity app. Adoption signs are for active volunteers only and are not intended solely for advertising businesses or groups.
The City of Manassas has 1,305 fire hydrants installed to provide fast access to water in the event of an emergency. Winter storms often hide fire hydrants under a mountain of snow, making hydrants impossible to find quickly. In the event of a fire, firefighters have to locate and shovel out buried fire hydrants before hooking up to them, losing precious time that could have been spent saving lives and containing a fire on the property. By adopting a fire hydrant, you are helping the Fire and Rescue Department - and your neighbors.
What do you need to do? Make sure that the fire hydrant closest to your residence or business clear of snow, leaves, building debris, and trash. The Fire Department needs a minimum 3-foot clearance on all sides.
What not to do:
- Don't paint the hydrant
- Don't alter or attempt to repair hydrant damage
- Don't mark the curb or the street
- Don't stand in the street to clear the hydrant
- Report any damage or leaks by calling (703) 257-8353
