When it comes to beach cleanups, there are a few different types.
- Rapid Response – An as-needed cleanup in response to an immediate need (such as more debris than one volunteer could clean in two days). Rapid Response systems are community-specific. More information about these will be posted soon.
- Planned – A cleanup that is set in advance. This is a great option for cleaning ‘normal’ accumulations of debris or for engaging school groups.
- Ongoing – Clean the beach every time you visit it – just bring a bag and gloves with you!
Volunteers are needed to both lead and attend beach cleanups! Keep an eye on our events calendar and sign up for the OMDT e-mail list to receive alerts about upcoming cleanups.
Contact Surfrider or SOLVE for more information about engaging in beach cleanups.
