Help Clean Up Beaches In Ocean City
By Veronica Flesher, Patch Staff
Clean Ocean Action is seeking volunteers for its “Fall Beach Sweeps” held on Oct. 22.
Twice a year, thousands of volunteers head to more than 70 locations to join COA in helping to clean up New Jersey’s shoreline. In 2021, COA picked up a record of more than 500,000 items during sweeps, according to their data.
Those interested in volunteering must register online ahead of time. The sweeps are held from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Cleanups are held rain or shine. Volunteers are asked to bring a repurposed bucket, bag or other trash receptacle. Wear comfortable, closed-toed shoes, bring clothes and dress appropriately.
Fall Beach Sweeps are held in Ocean City at Ocean City Music Pier.
