​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​                                   Let's Get Back Out There!​




On September 17t​h 2022, the Coastal Cleanup brought out over 2,000 volunteers countywide who collected over 42,000 pieces of trash totaling nearly 6,000 pounds. Broward County participates in the annual International Coastal Cleanup, sponsored by the Ocean Conservancy​. ​The Cleanup takes place in over 122 countries with over 1 million volunteers participating worldwide and typically on the 3rd Saturday of September.

This year we are getting back out there! All cleanup sites will be open for in-person participation.

We recommend using current safety guidelines such as wearing facial masks and staying in small groups. Like last year, independent cleanup efforts anywhere in the County will be accepted starting in September until December 31st. Go to Cleanup Instructions​ for more details. ​
