WHAT: Help Save The Bay clean up the shore at our headquarters in Providence! Come on by and visit our beautiful shoreline and help us keep it clean. We'll start at 4:30 PM but it is fine to arrive by 5:00 or whenever you can get here after work! Shoreline trash is ugly and dangerous to wildlife, and shoreline cleanups are an easy way for volunteers to make a difference.

WHERE: 100 Save The Bay Drive, Providence, RI. The entrance to Save The Bay is through the Johnson & Wales Harborside Campus, via Harborside Blvd. If you are coming from the highway or points north, your GPS/Google Maps may tell you to enter via Ernest St & Shipyard St, but you can't get in that way without a key card. Ignore any directions to turn from Allens Ave onto Ernest, and continue along until you get to Harborside Blvd. See map for exact location. Let the guard at the kiosk know you are going to Save The Bay.

PREPARE FOR THE CLEANUP:

  • REQUIRED: Review our Instructions & Safety Tips which include COVID-19 guidance.
  • Always dress for the weather in sturdy, closed-toe shoes.
  • Bring your own water - we recommend a reusable bottle!
  • Masks are recommended at check-in.
  • Optional: You may want to bring your own work gloves, trash grabber, or bucket for collecting trash. 
  • We will provide disposable gloves, trash bags, and hand sanitizer.

Registration notes:

  • Pre-registration is required.
  • Age requirements: Cleanups are recommended for ages 8+. Ages 16+ may participate independently; Ages 8-15 may participate with a parent or guardian. Parents with children will be asked to sign a family waiver at the event.
  • Team volunteering: Signing up as a team? See our Team Signup page for helpful information!
  • If the cleanup is full, join the waitlist! Spaces often open up.

Need documentation of service hours? We provide confirmation letters upon request! Just ask your cleanup leader at the end of the event.
