Oct. 3rd Difficult to choose today's New Photos..
between two pet peeves: businesses not picking up trash around their establishments (example Atlas/Fish House) and PPE and/or personal hygiene products!
Between the there sites of Bruce Beach, Bartram Park and Hwy 98 thru NLO, 34 volunteers picked up 456 lbs of trash.
Amazing, how 100’s of plastic bottle caps were picked up - where are the bottles?
Sep 26th. Hurricane Sally - What a mess!!!
So difficult to choose the “News” photo and for the “Gallery”. Twenty-five volunteers picked up 1,020 lbs of trash at Graffiti Bridge, Wayside Park, Sand Crab Pavilion - Navarre and Bartram Park! We barely scratched the surface! When the debris dries out, where are all the styrofoam pieces, water bottle caps etc. going to end up when it gets windy and/or rains?
Sep 12th Scenic Hwy is a little cleaner after..
25 volunteers picked up 243 lbs of trash at Chimney & Bay Bluffs Parks and Scenic Hwy.
There were numerous car pieces from an accident in the tall grass along Scenic Hwy. Good to pickup before the mowers come by

Sept. 5th The variety of "stuff" collected is amazing -
from a beach at Ft. Pickens by Debbie. Joe once again picked up 30#’s along Hwy 98 in Gulf Breeze. This morning three volunteers gathered 110 lbs along the beached at Naval Live Oaks. Why someone would think dragging a shopping cart thru sand for several hundred yards is easier than just carrying their stuff is beyond me!
Trash was collected from the N & S ends of the Bob Sikes Bridge - 15 volunteers and 89 lbs of garbage.
A single volunteer picked up ~8 lbs of trash along Mobile Hwy near the Equestrian Park (note Whataburger cup)
Aug 29th By land, and by sea, 180 lbs of trash...
was collected at Bruce Beach. The “sea” portion by Charlie. No “Whataburger” sponsored debris but plenty of styrofoam cups from Circle K (Polar Pop) and plain from Nick’s in the stormwater draining Corine Jones Park. With Cordova Rotary a further 27 lbs was collected at Palafox Pier. Joe picked up ~15 lbs along Hwy 98.
This brings the month’s total to 953 lbs of trash

individual cleanups totaling 74 lbs of trash . Locations on Scenic Hwy near Bay Bluffs Park by Shelley and Whisper Way Neighborhood Assoc. Also Blase at Stormwater outfall #16 Florida Blanca and Jen/Amanda at Park East.
At the Stormwater outfall near Bartram Park - the 3 most common items were plastic bottle lids, straws and cigarillo plastic butts. Also from the two photos on the gallery, where did all the debris go?
