PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CHECK-IN LOCATION HAS CHANGED FOR THIS SITE: Please check in with the Beach Captains at the Heceta Beach site 2.5 miles north at 10AM to fill out waivers and get your supplies. Volunteers can then head back south to clean the North Jetty location.
This event is part of the annual Beach & Riverside Cleanup, in partnership with the Oregon Lottery, and the International Coastal Cleanup, a world-wide effort to keep our beaches healthy.
Dress for rain or shine and wear sturdy shoes. SOLVE will provide bags and gloves. However, volunteers are encouraged to bring their own reusable bucket/bag, gloves, and water bottle to help reduce plastic waste. Don’t forget about the small stuff! The #1 items found on Oregon beaches are tiny bits of plastic and cigarette butts, which are harmful to shore birds and marine life. Bring an old colander to sift the sand for these items.
Please remember our ocean shores can be dangerous. Avoid logs in the water and marine mammals, and never turn your back on the ocean! If you find any hazardous material, please alert your Beach Captain.
Check-In is now at Heceta Beach: Look for the check in table at the parking lot just south of Driftwood Shores. Google Map.
