THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT BEACH CLEANUPS

Waivers

Each person must have a signed waiver to participate in a beach cleanup. You can sign them onsite, but please remember to send your child with a pre-signed waiver if you aren’t going to be at the cleanup.

What to Wear and Bring

You should always wear sunscreen and a hat. You need to wear closed-toe shoes, to make sure you don’t step on anything sharp, and make sure to bring a reusable water bottle. We will provide all the clean-up supplies, however, we also encourage volunteers to bring reusable garden gloves or buckets from home to reduce the amount of trash we create during the cleanup.

How to Stay Safe

Sometimes at beach cleanups we find sharp or dangerous items. Never pick up anything that looks like it could be medical waste or broken glass, any kinds of needles or weapons, or any dead animal. Alert your cleanup captain or a lifeguard.  Don’t approach any wild animal, even if it seems sick or injured.  

Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.
