International Coastal Cleanup

Keep Lee County Beautiful, Inc. (KLCB) invites the community to take part in the Annual International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) on Saturday, September 20, 2025, at sites throughout Lee County. Now in its 36th year, the ICC is a global initiative led by Ocean Conservancy, with KLCB serving as the proud local organizer.

Each year, the International Coastal Cleanup mobilizes millions of people across the globe to protect our oceans and waterways by removing harmful trash and debris. Since its launch, more than 18 million volunteers have worked together to collect over 380 million pounds of litter—transforming concern into action and setting an inspiring example of environmental stewardship.

Plastic waste continues to be one of the greatest threats to marine life and ocean health. Yet, every small action matters. Removing a single bottle, straw, or plastic wrapper can help restore cleaner beaches and safer habitats for wildlife.

KLCB encourages both residents and visitors to be part of this powerful movement by volunteering at cleanup sites across the county. Pre-registration is required. To sign up and learn more, visit www.klcb.org/events/coastal-cleanup.

Together, we can create a cleaner, healthier coast—one piece of trash at a time.
