About Adopt-A-Spot program

Adopt-A-Spot encourages organizations to keep areas clean of litter.

Steve’s Auto Repair & Tire cleans up Neabsco Mills Road, which connects Route 1 to Dale Boulevard.

“It’s amazing how much fast food trash is thrown out of people’s cars on this short stretch of road, let alone what’s being thrown out elsewhere,” Steve’s Auto Repair & Tire Owner ST Billingsley said.

Cigarette butts, he added, are the most difficult items to pick up.

“It would be interesting to see, in the future, with all the electronics in the cars and the cameras on them, if they will be able to detect trash that’s thrown out from the vehicle ahead of them and turn it in, like the way red light cameras operate,” Billingsley said.

Steve’s Auto Repair & Tire has been participating in Adopt-A-Spot since 2013.

“We’ve been helping clean up this part of the road for many years, and we like to make sure our community is looking good,” Billingsley said. “With the new Director at KPBW, we are looking forward to continuing our partnership in keeping Prince William beautiful.”To learn more about the Adopt-A-Spot program, visit the KPWB website.

The crew from Steve’s Auto Repair & Tire was out on Neabsco Mills Road in Woodbridge this weekend, cleaning up the roadway for Keep Prince William Beautiful (KPWB).

KPWB is an organization in Prince William County that focuses on keeping the county clean and beautiful, with an emphasis on preserving the environment and natural beauty of the area.

Steve Auto Repair is proud to run the “Adopt-A-Spot” along Neabsco Mills Road.

“We clean up basically from Route 1 on Neabsco [Mills Road] all the way up to Dale Boulevard. We find a lot of interesting stuff around here,” said Owner ST Billingsley.

According to Billingsley, the crew was able to take advantage of the nice weather to pick up trash.

“One of the things we do for KPWB – Keep Prince William Beautiful – is that we take care of the bus stops here on Neabsco Mills Road,” said Billingsley.

Billingsley said that each time the crew comes out to pick up trash, they collect between 8 to 12 trash bags from the area that they cover.

Steve’s Auto Repair Teams Up with Keep Prince William Beautiful to become an Environmental Steward

In Community Involvement, Keep Prince William Beautiful by Steves Auto Repair and Tire

Keep Prince William BeautifulSteve’s Auto Repair knows that a clean community will attract more visitors and residents to Prince William County. That is why, we joined the Keep Prince William Beautiful adopt-a-spot program, and will be nurturing our newly adopted spot to keep it clean.

Our first pickup was on December 31st, just in time for the New Year. Steve’s employees including the owner, S.T. Billingsley, carried their trash bags from Route 1 and Neabsco Mills past Northern Virginia Community College and Freedom High School to the intersection of Neabsco Mills and Dale Blvd where the Shell gas station is located. S.T. did stop at the Shell station to buy the guys “Mexican Coca Cola” (a soda that uses cane sugar instead of refined sugar) making sure those bottles were disposed of properly and picking up bottles that had not been.

The experience was rather eye opening for our Steve’s team. So what do people throw away? We picked up many interesting things and found out where fans sit on the hill to watch football games smoking and drinking and leaving their remnants behind.

We went back to the shop to pick up additional trash bags and found that we had to go back to spots we had already cleaned to pick up garbage that had fallen off people’s trucks.

While passengers in cars passing by often looked on our staff with disdain, thinking this was a punishment of sorts, as a community minded business we were happy to do our part in making the area we live in the best it can be.
