25th Annual Hillsborough River & Coastal Cleanup
Time: 9:00 am til 5:00 pm
Location: Various locations, see website
Description: Cleanup locations are available throughout Hillsborough County. Volunteers can pre-register for a location of their choice by October 12th or they can register the day of the event at 8am at Lowry Park Boat Ramp. The projects will begin at 9:00am at various sites along the Hillsborough River, Alafia River and other waterways. We are expecting locations to fill up fast, so be sure to pre-register.
As part of the Hillsborough River & Coastal Cleanup, data is collected from the event including the number and type of littered items, the overall tonnage removed and the amount of recyclable material diverted from each site. This information is used to determine future needs and projects in the area and create an awareness of these needs within the community. Data is shared with the International Coastal Cleanup, Keep America Beautiful, as well as local officials to help provide a local and global perspective.
All volunteers must provide their own transportation! No transportation is available.
