IIn partnership with volunteer organizations and individuals around the globe, the International Coastal Cleanup® (ICC) engages people to remove trash from the world’s beaches and waterways. Thanks to millions of volunteers around the world, the ICC has become a beacon of hope, leading and inspiring action in support of our ocean. Since its beginning, more than 18 million volunteers have collected more than 380 million pounds of trash. Trash travels, so even picking up litter off a city sidewalk can help protect wildlife and communities that depend on clean waterways.
Ocala is the most central location on the map of Florida. Help us pick up items around Tuscawilla and Art Park to collect data of which items are most common, and join in with volunteers all over the world!
People should register ahead of time with organization and number in their group to secure a hat! Items will be available but helps if you can bring your own: bucket, gloves, pickers, clipboards, phone to download the CleanSwell App, and plenty of friends!
