Before coming out:
- Use the restroom! There is not one at this cleanup location.
- Bring reusable water bottle (we don't have cups), reusable gloves (gardening or mechanic), and sun protection.
- Avoid bringing plastic bottles, bags of chips, and other single use plastic products.
- I recommend wearing a hat, sunglasses, shorts, and flip flops.
- Dress for the beach
Arriving:
- PARKING is going to be LIMITED. Street parking around the neighborhood. There are also pay to park spots in small lots for those that have to take them.
- Check in at the Surfrider popup tent
- We have bags
Cleaning up:
- You can scavenge the shoreline, beach, parking lot, etc.
- Do NOT collect seaweed, wood, rocks, stones, seashells by the seashore sold by Sally. Let us know if you find any 'sleeping' animals for Parks and Rec. to scoop up.
- Bring us back your trash once your bag is full, time runs out, or you must leave. We will weigh the trash, record the weight, then sort out the trash for items to be recycled
- For those that need community service hours, it is at this point that you can get a form stating you attended the cleanup.
And our chapter is always looking for new members. Ask us when you can come out to a meeting to join us to be a bigger part of the community.
