Small nonprofits like EcoAction Arlington make a big difference for the communities who live here. We are thrilled to have Spur Local support our work! Being part of their 2025 class, alongside our incredible peer nonprofits, shows both the critical impact we make as an organization and our collective strength as a local movement. |
This fourth of July remember to reduce, reuse and recycle! Remember, fireworks are not recyclable. Used fireworks should be soaked in water and thoroughly extinguished before being disposed in the regular trash according to the Arlington County Fire Department. Why not ditch the fireworks altogether and watch one of the displays around town instead? If you are able, cycle or carpool to the event. |
