One hour a week makes a huge difference, and volunteers are always welcome every Friday morning, when teams clean up a designated area of the island.
The Friday, March 25 cleanup took place at Mallory Square in preparation for the afternoon’s bicentennial festivities. Twenty-one ploggers, including four guest ploggers from Publix removed 54 pounds of trash, 11 pounds of recycling and 2.5 gallons of cigarette butts.
All are invited to join the Friday morning cleanups from 8 to 9 a.m.
Parking is provided and all volunteers receive a 24-hour bus pass in exchange for their time.
