Being the leader is so easy — make a plan with friends or co-workers to walk out your front door and pick up trash.
That’s it. It is recommended that groups plan to spend approximately two hours cleaning. Your area coordinator will provide you with supplies, so all you have to do is show up with your team!
Are you ready to take the next step? Guess what, this part is super easy too — contact Jonathan Arriola at DEQ for a form. Call 664-8500.

Let’s show the world that trash has a place and it’s not on a beach or in a park or in the street.
Let’s work together for the health of our coral reefs and cleanliness of our beaches.
Let’s make it a family day and show our children how important it is to put trash in its place.
For more information about signing up your dream-team for the islandwide cleanup, contact Jonathan Arriola at 664-8500 or -8501.
