Description

THIS CLEANUP HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO RAIN.

WHAT: Help keep Weekapaug Breachway clean! Shoreline trash is ugly and dangerous to wildlife, and shoreline cleanups are a great way for volunteers to make a difference. 

WHERE: 665 Atlantic Ave, Westerly, RI 02891. This is an approximate address. See map for exact meeting location, and look for the Save The Bay sign. SPECIAL NOTE: Parking is limited, carpool if possible! If the cleanup is full but you are attending with another person who is signed up, or are walking/biking or otherwise not adding another car, add yourself to the waitlist and then contact July Lewis at jlewis@savebay.org to be added to the main list.

PREPARE FOR THE CLEANUP:

  • REQUIRED: Review our Instructions & Safety Tips
  • Always dress for the weather in sturdy, closed-toe shoes.
  • Bring your own water - we recommend a reusable bottle!
  • 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.
