Keep It Clean in Washington County Parks
Whether you’re planning an event at a picnic shelter, spending a weekend at the campground, or taking your family to the beach for the day, it is important to “leave no trace” during your visit to the park.
Before you leave, make sure to pick up your trash and recycling and place items in the appropriate containers. To make it easy, bring along trash bags and paper bags to collect trash and recycling during your stay.
