Emergency Beachside Cleanup with Keep Brevard Beautiful

Start: Jan. 13, 2018, 6 p.m.

End: Jan. 13, 2018, 8 p.m.

We are still feeling the effects of Hurricane Irma. With the recent heavy surfs, there has been massive amounts of plastic washing up from the ocean bed. Because this plastic has been circling the ocean for 4 months, it has broken down into pieces the size of colonels of corn and even smaller. It will take an ongoing community effort to tackle this problem and keep our beaches beautiful. Please come out and bring your innovative ideas on how to pick up these small pieces from our beaches. Can you fill an entire bucket?
We are challenging all Residents to the Beach Bucket Challenge... It's basically like the ice bucket challenge but instead of ice water being dumped on your head, we are challenging you to fill a 5 gallon bucket with trash instead. "No dumping involved".

We will be heading out tomorrow at 1:00pm to pickup trash off our local beaches, and would like to challenge our local residents to do the same. Please go enjoy an afternoon on the beach with friends, at your normal home break, and donate some time to clean it up. Please invite all of your neighbors along. If we all join in together we can make a major difference.
