Every piece of trash that is picked up from the beach is one less piece of trash in the ocean. You will also have the opportunity to learn about the impacts of microplastics on ocean animals.
Plus, the first 100 volunteers who collect a bucket of trash will receive a free water bottle made from recycled ocean-bound plastic.
We will provide cleanup supplies.
Volunteer Requirements
Volunteers must feel comfortable bending over to pick up trash and be able to carry a bucket weighing up to 10 pounds. Please wear comfortable walking shoes (preferably closed-toe for rockier areas), sunscreen and a hat. A jacket is recommended because it can get chilly by the water during spring.
