Trash Free Waters boat Cleanup Day

Come join us on the Hillsborough River with our 26 foot boat as we cruise along collecting marine debris while learning where it comes from and how you can help us change this.

This cleanup is a part of Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful's Trash Free Waters Program and serves as a call to action to create more sustainable communities by focusing volunteer efforts on activities that impact individuals in need, lead to aesthetic community improvements, and provide a positive environmental impact. Litter on roadways, in parks, rivers, and neighborhoods negatively affects the environment, and isn’t something residents or visitors want to see in their community.

Volunteers will meet Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful's Boat Captain and Trash Free Waters Manager, Captain Al , and join him as you travel to areas of need on the Hillsborough River collecting debris.
