For the past 35 years, the Alabama Gulf Coast has taken part in an amazing project that helps clean up the coastline we all enjoy. Come participate in this movement on September 16, 2023, from 8 a.m. until noon, as we celebrate the 36th Annual Alabama Coastal Cleanup.
What is the Alabama Coastal Cleanup?
This is Alabama’s largest volunteer event. Neighborhoods, parks, streets, beaches and even storm drains are part of the cleanup. Picking up litter leaves the community in better shape, reduces pollution, and helps the bay and gulf stay clean.
How do I participate?
Find your preferred location on this zone map, then contact the zone captain to sign up. For other information involving the event, please call 251-621-1216 or 251-928-9792.
Stay safe!
Cleaning up is important, but so is taking care of yourself. Follow these tips so we can all enjoy a safe and successful morning:
- Drink fluids continuously throughout the day.
- Ask the zone captain for assistance with lifting heavy objects.
- Wear sunscreen.
- Children need to be supervised at all times.
- Be courteous and cautious around wildlife, ecosystems and sand dunes.
More than 100,000 people have volunteered since the start of the first cleanup. We would love for you to be part of this amazing opportunity to help the Gulf Coast!
