The GrassRoots Garbage Gang is an all-volunteer, Washington State not-for-profit group that cleans up the Peninsula beaches in SW Washington. Each January, April and July hundreds of volunteers clean the Peninsula's 28-mile beach.  Support comes from incredible volunteers, local businesses, City of Long Beach, Marine Resource Committe and Washington State Parks!

On April 22nd of 2009 (and 4/23/10), ETown (a weekly radio program on NPR) awared us their E-cheivement award!  You can learn more about the award here.  For more information contact Shelly Pollock at her office 360-642-0033 or Shelly@OurBeach.org


We need both interested individuals and community resources to make this happen in a way that is sustainable over the long term.

We need our community resources including commerce (both individual businesses and commerce groups), community service groups (both adult and children), all levels of governments and governmental agencies, and educational groups to join us to help clean our beach.

Even if you can just dedicate 2 or 3 hours every three months to help collect garbage - we need you!
