The 2022 Keep Pinellas Beautiful BeBot Beach Tour

Keep Pinellas Beautiful

Join Keep Pinellas Beautiful and Seagram's Escapes for a sunset cleanup and BeBot demonstration on Treasure Island!

Bilmar Beach Resort

In partnership with <a href="https://www.seagramsescapes.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Seagram's Escapes</a>, Keep Pinellas Beautiful will host multiple cleanups with BeBot demonstrations across Pinellas County in July! The BeBot Beach Tour Series aims to educate and engage the community while cleaning up trash on local beaches. Before volunteers begin their cleanup, KPB staff will present and demo the BeBot. At the end of the event, KPB staff will assist volunteers in sorting out the small litter collected by the BeBot. Collected debris will then be displayed and discussed! What is a BeBot?Donated to Keep Florida Beautiful by Surfing's Evolution and Preservation Foundation, a charitable organization that maintains healthy Florida beaches, the BeBot serves as a teaching tool to work alongside cleanup volunteers. The BeBot collects discarded small debris at the sand's surface level under the remote control of trained staff. The eco-friendly companion removes litter such as fragmented plastics and cigarette butts that might otherwise go unnoticed. This new technology is a unique way to captivate beachgoers’ attention for an opportunity to educate them on litter prevention and waste reduction in honor of Plastic Free July. Don't miss your chance to witness the BeBot in action!For the full BeBot Tour schedule, please visit <a href="https://www.kpbcares.org/upcoming-events" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.kpbcares.org/upcoming-events</a>. ***Join Keep Pinellas Beautiful, Bilmar Beach Resort, Sea Turtle Trackers, and Treasure Island Adopt-A-Beach on Sunday, July 10th as we work together to clean Treasure Island Beach!WHERE TO MEET: Check-in for the cleanup will be located at Bilmar Beach Resort.
