Register for the 38th annual New York State Beach Cleanup

7/26/2023

Become Part of the New York State Beach Cleanup
International Coastal Cleanup Day (ICC) is Saturday, September 16. The ICC is a global annual event that began in 1986, thanks to the efforts of Linda Maraniss and her Ocean Conservancy colleague Kathy O’Hara. The day aims to raise awareness about the problems that plastic pollution poses to our shorelines, our health, and our wildlife. 

Also in 1986, the American Littoral Society’s first Beach Cleanup Coordinator was appointed to assist in coordinating cleanup events and data collection in New York state. Since then, ICC Day has grown to an international effort that remains strongly rooted in volunteerism. 

During the 2022 New York State Beach Cleanup (NYSBC), 4,800 volunteers removed and documented nearly 32,000 pounds of trash and debris collected from over 184 miles of New York shoreline. 


But more needs to be done and we need your help to do it! Anyone can host or volunteer to be a part of the effort from August through December. 

This year, we have moved the registration process online. Fill out the linked form in order to become part of the NYSBC effort.
Become Part of the NY State Beach Cleanup
Once you fill out and submit the form, you will get a confirmation that we received your form and our NYS Beach Cleanup Coordinator Jessica will follow up with you with any additional actions/ or questions. 

If you are coordinating your own beach cleanup: Once we receive your registrations from this form we will begin adding your cleanups to our site list and packing up your packages with your requested materials.

If you just want to volunteer, you can fill out this form just in the sections for volunteers and then visit the cleanup site list included in the beginning of this form to find a Beach Captain that may be hosting a beach cleanup near you:

You can also check our dedicated beach cleanup website for additional resources and to see how we did last year. 

Thank you all for your efforts to protect and preserve our waterways and shorelines. Let’s work together to make the 2023 New York State Beach Cleanup a success! Cleanups are more than just about the trash. They are about individuals who make a difference and have an impact on the environment.

​Kindly,
Jessica Klich
