Earth Day Cleanup Co-Hosted by Maine Conservation Alliance at Old Orchard Beach

Join us and Maine Conservation Alliance to clean Old Orchard Beach to celebrate Earth Day and protect marine life from litter! Free public parking is available in the Milliken Street Lot. From Milliken Street, walk about 0.5 miles south down the beach to meet in front of Palace Playland, where you can sign in and wait for a short introduction, including cleanup procedures. Register at blueoceansociety.org/cleanup All ages are welcome, although children should be supervised at all times due to the sharp nature of items on the beach. Please bring gloves to the cleanup. Reusable gloves like gardening gloves, work gloves, and thin winter gloves work well. When possible, we aim to avoid single-use gloves to reduce our contributions to the plastic pollution problem. We tally all the debris we collect during all of our cleanups using data cards. Please arrive 10-15 minutes early so we can begin these cleanups on time. Thank you to our co-host and the Ocean Conservancy for their support of these cleanups.
