Coco Plum Beach got an early-morning makeover on Sept. 21 when a cleaning crew hit the sands for Marathon’s annual Landry Sayer Clean the Curb Day.
Now in its fourth year, the event began when then-6-year-old Landry Sayer petitioned the city council to “Stop Trashing Marathon” with a video of herself cleaning roadside trash on her daily walks.
On Saturday morning, volunteers swept the beach and mangroves en route to collecting dozens of bags of trash, all loaded into city vehicles for proper disposal.
“Thank you to the city of Marathon, Luis Gonzalez and Mayor Still for making this happen for another year,” the youngest Sayer said. “When I see people litter, it just makes me want to clean up even more.”
