About the Coastal Cleanup
Show your support and concern for Alabama’s waterways by participating in the 25thAnnual Alabama Coastal Cleanup scheduled for

You or your organization can make a difference by
volunteering to clean up our cherished coastal area.
In its twenty-five year
effort to clean up the coast, over
61,513 volunteers
have removed
1,169,844 pounds of trash from
3,917 miles of
shoreline. Join
us this year as we continue to make Alabama the Beautiful!
Supplies are limited. On the day of the
event, come prepared with sunscreen, a hat, gloves, shoes
and lots of water. It gets HOT!

Here are a few safety tips to help "Get the Trash out of the Splash!"
- Drink plenty of fluids!
- Bring sunscreen, a hat and wear comfortable shoes.
- An adult should supervise children at all times.
- Be careful near sand dunes and other fragile ecosystems.
- DO NOT attempt to remove dangerous or heavy items yourself. Mark the location and report back to the zone captain for proper disposal.
