Jose Marti Park Clean Up
This event has passed.
Lend a hand and keep your neighborhood clean at Jose Marti Park.
Ocean Conservancy, Debris Free Oceans, and Big Blue & You are teaming up for a neighborhood cleanup at Jose Marti Park on Saturday, July 27. This event is part of the Plastic Free Cities initiative, a program empowering young people to combat plastic pollution in their communities and work with neighborhood businesses to reduce single-use plastics.
Join your neighbors for a morning of making a positive impact. The event will begin with a brief introduction before volunteers head out to collect marine debris in the park and surrounding streets. All cleanup supplies will be provided. The cleanup concludes with complimentary refreshments from a local Plastic Free 305 restaurant.
To help researchers understand the global issue of plastic pollution, participants are encouraged to download and use the CleanSwell app to track their collected debris. The data gets added to Ocean Conservancy's database, informing policies to combat plastic waste.
Registration is important. Sign up to receive details on parking, what to bring, and more information as the event date approaches.
This event is organized with the help of local youth from the Plastic Free Cities program.
