Volunteer: Storm Drain Marking - Narragansett

Create an account if it is your first time here!
See Youth volunteering for information on how to set up an account as a minor, or on volunteering as a family.
Automatic team registration is not enabled for this need. Please register your interest here to receive more information on participating as a team.

Did you know that the water from most storm drains flows directly into streams, ponds, and the ocean beyond? That means that anything dumped into those drains - such as chemicals, motor oil, and pet waste - pollutes our local waters. But you can make a difference by participating in our Storm Drain Marking effort! For this project you will glue markers that say "Don't Dump - Drains To Coast" next to storm drains in Narragansett. This is a flexible, ongoing project that may be done by individuals, families or teams. Best for ages 13+; minors under 16 must participate with parent or legal guardian.

STEP ONE: Register your interest here! We will email you our tracking spreadsheet where you can claim areas to mark, and arrange for you to pick up supplies.

STEP TWO: Review all the materials so you know what to do! It's simple but there are a few important procedures to follow, such as safety tips and how to record and report which streets you marked. 

STEP THREE: Start marking! See a demonstration here. Note that this is a very weather dependent project. Night time temperatures must be above 40 degrees and the streets must be dry. Therefore it is better to plan a flexible, ongoing effort rather than one big project day.

STEP FOUR: Report back! You will keep track of how many markers you used, where you placed them, and how much time you spent on the project.

Register here and we will plan your project!

Every year, Save The Bay organizes about 200 shoreline cleanups, removing tens of thousands of pounds of trash and engaging almost 2000 volunteers - and it would not be possible without our cleanup leader volunteers! We are looking for volunteers who are reliable, communicative, eager to lead, willing to learn and follow Save The Bay’s procedures for cleanups, and able to participate frequently.

Cleanups are usually led by a team of 2-3 leaders, with one "beach captain" acting as the main leader for the event (assigning leadership tasks and giving the welcome speech). Leadership tasks include welcoming and checking volunteers in, collecting waivers, distributing supplies, giving instructions, leading volunteers to different shoreline areas, weighing the trash, and thanking everyone at the end. To become a cleanup leader,

Program: Save The Bay Shoreline Cleanups

Every year, Save The Bay organizes about 200 shoreline cleanups, removing tens of thousands of pounds of trash and engaging almost 2000 volunteers - and it would not be possible without our cleanup leader volunteers! We are looking for volunteers who are reliable, communicative, eager to lead, willing to learn and follow Save The Bay’s procedures for cleanups, and able to participate frequently.

Cleanups are usually led by a team of 2-3 leaders, with one "beach captain" acting as the main leader for the event (assigning leadership tasks and giving the welcome speech). Leadership tasks include welcoming and checking volunteers in, collecting waivers, distributing supplies, giving instructions, leading volunteers to different shoreline areas, weighing the trash, and thanking everyone at the end.

Volunteer: Clean Up with the Clean Swell App!

NOTE: This is an independent activity. Data submitted through this app is anonymous, and Save The Bay cannot verify users' participation -therefore this activity is not eligible for community service hours. 

The Clean Swell App is a great way to clean up your favorite spots and track what you've accomplished! Download the app and then start cleaning up and recording what you pick up. All the data goes to the Ocean Conservancy for their research on marine debris and their International Coastal Cleanup report. The app will track your progress and you will earn badges to reward your achievements! This is great for those who want to do cleanups on their daily walks, at small access areas, or whenever they feel inspired. For more information and to download the app, visit:

https://oceanconservancy.org/trash-free-seas/international-coastal-cleanup/cleanswell/

You do not need to hit "respond" to this need - just download the app and start cleaning up!

A few guidelines: 

Always use gloves when picking up trash. Use common sense - beware of sharp items, ticks, poison ivy, and don't lift anything too heavy.  Never fill up trash barrels so others can't use them, or leave bags of trash to be picked up without arranging it with the town or park manager. Be prepared to take it home with you! This posting is geared toward individual and small group cleanups. Larger groups must be permitted through the town or park.
