Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful would like to remind Pennsylvania residents to that there is still time to be a part of the 2015 International Coastal Cleanup.
The Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup is held from September 1 through October 31 and is the largest volunteer effort aimed at improving the health of the ocean, bringing out hundreds of thousands of volunteers from around the world to remove millions of pounds of plastics and debris from beaches, lakes and waterways.
This event has grown to include participation by all 50 states and U.S. territories and 90 countries with the number growing each year. Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful is proud to coordinate this effort in Pennsylvania.
Any cleanup site is eligible since we all live in a watershed and all waterways flow into our coastal waters. Gloves and bags are available for registered events while supplies last.
International Coastal Cleanup Day will be held on September 19, however, ICC events can be held from September 1st through October 31st.
If you are interested in coordinating or volunteering for an ICC cleanup, please contact Michelle Dunn at 1-877-772-3673 Ext. 113 or send email to: mdunn@keeppabeautiful.org.
