WHAT: Help keep Narragansett Bay clean! Shoreline trash is ugly and dangerous to wildlife, and shoreline cleanups are a great way for volunteers to make a difference. At this Earth Week cleanup, we are encouraging all participants to Take the Pledge to Keep Rhody Litter Free

WHERE: Meet at the Weaver Cove boat ramp. There is no precise address for this site. Enter the park off of Burma Road and follow the road all the way down to the parking lot. The boat ramp is on the far side of the lot. See map for exact location. Parking is limited, please carpool or take alternative transportation if possible!

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.

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