Let's Get Back Out There!
The date is set for the 40th Annual Coastal Cleanup: Saturday, September 20, 2025 from 9am to 12pm! The T-shirts and hats will be distributed at all sites while supplies last and were allotted based on the number of pre-registrations.
In 2024, the Coastal Cleanup brought out over 2,300 volunteers Countywide who collected nearly 3,100 pounds of trash. More detailed data of what was removed is being compiled.

The Cleanup takes place in more than 122 countries with over one million volunteers participating worldwide, typically on the 3rd Saturday of September. All cleanup sites will be open for in-person participation. Additionally, for students seeking community service hours, independent cleanup efforts anywhere in the County will be accepted starting September 1st until December 31st.
