Keep Collier Beautiful invites all Collier County residents to volunteer for the 38th annual International Coastal Cleanup on Saturday, September 16, 2023. The event runs from 8:00 am to 11:00 am at select beaches, canals, and waterways in Collier County.
Keep Collier Beautiful is an umbrella organization, bringing together government organizations, businesses, and civic groups in protecting Collier County’s environment by cleaning up litter and debris from local waterways. Many local teachers take the opportunity to bring their classes out for volunteer hours and hands-on learning about ecology. Pre-registration is requested so that site captains are prepared with enough supplies. Volunteers can view the full list of confirmed locations at www.KeepCollierBeautiful.com/events.
The International Cleanup event was founded by the Ocean Conservancy, with local efforts being spearheaded by Keep Collier Beautiful and its partner organizations. The community-wide cleanup is meant to bring together volunteers, local businesses, and municipalities in support of Collier County’s unique environment. Through ongoing partnerships, Keep Collier Beautiful helps support litter prevention, education, and community cleanup programs.
Founded in 1996, Keep Collier Beautiful is a non-profit organization with the mission of public education outreach as well as improving litter and marine debris control and prevention, recycling, and education. Keep Collier Beautiful is supported through partnerships with Collier County Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Division, City of Naples, WM, Waste Pro, AshBritt, Wastequip, Cascade Cart Solutions, C2 Communications, and EK Consulting.
