History

Volunteer hikes along the beach at Bandon. The first Beach Cleanup in the nation was held here in Oregon in 1984. Since then, annual beach cleanups have spread to every state in the Union, all US territories and more than 100 countries around the world. In 2006, 358,617 volunteers picked up over 7 million pounds of trash from 34,560 miles of coastline nationwide.

Volunteers, lots of volunteers, are needed to make the Beach Cleanup a success. Trashy beaches put a damper on tourism and the economy it supports. Plastic litter and debris harm marine wildlife. By volunteering for a Beach Cleanup, you can make a difference!
