Our Crew will be in charge of North Beach Community Park, 1100 North Atlantic Avenue, Sapphire Road beach access. Volunteers will spread out and take on areas of the beach, the parking lot, the park (walkway and pavilion) and beachside streets. Cleanup begins at 8 AM and ends by 11 AM. Volunteers usually work about an hour. Parking may become limited so carpooling and arriving early are suggested. Volunteers should bring their own cleaning equipment (bag or bucket and garden gloves or a trash grabber). We will have some equipment on hand for those who need to borrow. Everyone should be be in charge of their own hydration and we can refill reusable water bottles. Sunscreen, close-toed shoes, a cap, and sunglasses are suggested.
During the event we will use Ocean Conservancy’s CleanSwell mobile app to track found items. There will also be a paper tally available. Over 100 countries participate in the ICC, so it truly is an international effort. Findings are important. For instance, in 2019 food wrappers for candy, chips, etc., outnumbered cigarette butts for the first time since the beginning of the ICC some 30 years ago. See https://oceanconservancy.org/trash-free-seas/international-coastal-cleanup/cleanswell/ for more information about the CleanSwell app.
Note: If you did not pre-register for this event you can still participate with us at North Beach Community Park or head to your favorite stretch of water.

It’s time to bring back the NSB Breakfast Club! Our last “meet up, eat up, clean up” was in February of last year and it feels like eons have passed since then!
We’ve chosen Third Wave Cafe as our next breakfast spot. We’ll meet up in front of the restaurant at 8:00 and spend about an hour visiting the roosters (cleaning up the surrounding area). 🐓 Third Wave’s garden gates open for breakfast at 9.
Join us! Bring your own litter grabbing supplies or you’re welcome to borrow some of ours.
Can’t make it to this one? No worries! NSB Breakfast Club will meet monthly at various locations in NSB and we will be cleaning up litter wherever we land.
Limited spots! Be sure to RSVP!

We love sunrises, coffee, and a litter-free NSB! How about you?
To celebrate Earth Day we’re gonna be out EARLY sipping coffee and catching a beautiful NSB sunrise! Why don’t you join us? If you bring your reusable coffee mug we just might have a refill for you. 😉
After sunrise, if you have time, borrow one of our buckets and grabbers or gloves (or bring your own cleanup equipment) and head down a street or sidewalk, into a parking lot, or hit the sand and do some litter grabbing. 🗑
Bring your trashy finds to us by 8:30 to receive a participation prize and a raffle ticket. 🎫
A word or two of caution… The sand dunes have suffered much erosion and are quite fragile so we ask that volunteers stay off of them even if trash is visible. Soon we’ll be into turtle nesting season and that will be an additional reason to leave the dunes undisturbed. 💚 🐢
One more thing… The great outdoors gives us plenty of room to spread out so let’s try to limit the rubbing of elbows, ok? 😏
“Private” group event
Join us on April 3rd for a little pre-Easter community service time. EVERYONE is invited and we’d love to see some new faces.
We’ll spend no more than an hour cleaning up the beach and park. A limited number of buckets, trash grabbers, and gloves will be available. If you have your own cleanup equipment please bring it.
COVID-19 note: The great outdoors offers us plenty of room to social distance while still being part of a group and masks are always welcome.

Private Event
This event has been postponed due to an extremely high morning tide and an invasion of flamingos. (Flamingo Follies)
