Beach Cleanups

Join the Beach.com 2025 Coastal Cleanup Movement

At Beach.com, we believe that the beauty of our coastlines isn’t just something to admire—it’s something to protect. As we prepare to launch our new platform, dedicated to helping travelers find the best coastal vacation rentals, we’re doubling down on our commitment to preserving the very places we love to explore. That’s why we’re organizing National U.S. Beach Cleanup Day on June 8, 2025, which falls on World Oceans Day, and we want you to be part of it! Our goal is simple: to unite people from coast to coast for a nationwide day of action, keeping our beaches clean and beautiful. Mark your calendar, gather your crew, and join us in making a difference!”

Why This Matters

Beaches are more than just picturesque vacation destinations; they’re vital ecosystems that support marine life, protect coastal communities, and provide a place of rest and recreation for millions. But with rising pollution and plastic waste, these natural treasures need our help. By coming together to clean up our shores, we can make a tangible impact—protecting wildlife, improving the visitor experience, and ensuring that future generations can enjoy the same pristine coastlines we love today.

How You Can Help

We’re recruiting a Cleanup Captain for each coastal city—passionate individuals who want to make a real impact by leading a local cleanup effort in their communities. Whether you’re part of a non-profit, private organization, church, or simply an individual dedicated to environmental change, we need your help! Here’s how it works:

1. Sign Up: Fill out our quick volunteer form to become a Beach.com Cleanup Captain.
2. Recruit Volunteers & Drive Awareness: Reach out to your local community to gather volunteers and make your cleanup a huge success.
3. Get Your Kit: Before the weekend of June 8, we’ll coordinate with you an order of free (provided by us) Beach.com shirts along with trash collection bags.
4. Lead Your Cleanup: Organize the event, ensure everything runs smoothly, and make an impact!
5. Share & Inspire: Document your cleanup efforts with photos and videos, tagging Beach.com on social media.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What will the cleanup day look like?
  We recommend starting at 9 a.m. while it’s still cool and wrapping up by noon, but the timing is up to you. You’ll also choose a meeting spot for your volunteers, which we’ll feature on the event page we create for you.
• What should I bring?
  We suggest bringing gloves, sun protection, and comfortable shoes. We’ll provide reusable trash collection bags and t-shirts for up to 100 volunteers—these will be shipped to you before the event.
• Is there any setup involved?
  No setup is required! We’re keeping the process simple and low-impact. There won’t be tables or tents for these regional cleanups. Just meet your volunteers at the designated starting point and head out onto the beach together.
• Where does the trash need to go? There are three disposal options:
  • 1️⃣ Partner with a beachfront business – The best option is to reach out to a local restaurant or business ahead of time and ask if they’d allow volunteers to drop trash in their dumpster. In return, we can feature their business name or logo on the Beach.com cleanup page. If needed, we can assist with getting the logo.
  • 2️⃣ Use public trash cans – If there are enough public trash cans in the area, volunteers can dispose of waste there.
  • 3️⃣ Beach.com can arrange a pickup – If neither option works, we can coordinate a trash pickup service in most areas. You would need to be present for the pickup, and we’d also need to confirm Sunday availability.
