Cross Bayou and Joe's Creek Clean Up-Great American Cleanup 2023

Each year, community members and organizations like Keep Pinellas Beautiful, work with local governments to identify areas that are inundated with marine debris. The Great American Cleanup is a national campaign through which volunteers remove debris from our creeks, watersheds and oceans.

Won’t you join us for this Waterway and Mangrove island cleanup in Pinellas Park? You can bring your own canoe/kayak or borrow a canoe from us (assigned morning of event, first come first serve). We'll provide all the cleanup materials you'll need.

Please Note, this is an 18+ event.

Participants must wear a closed- toe wading shoe (old tennis shoes, keens, scuba booties). Sun protection (hat, sunglasses, cover up) and insect repellent is highly recommended. All participants must abide by the safety policies and recommendations of Pinellas County Staff.

Registration is REQUIRED. Space is limited. If you register, please plan to attend or email if you need to cancel.

Sponsors: We are actively recruiting sponsors for this event. If you would like to participate, please contact Eric Vittoria at 727-464-8756 or at evittoria@pinellas.gov. Participation can include donating items or funds to purchase items for the free volunteer appreciation raffle, and opportunities for a display table at the event to promote your organization.
