The Grassroots Garbage gang is a 501c3 and has begun to solicit Lifetime members at $100 each and Lifetime sponsors at $1000 each (we will list the sponsors – if desired). We hope to raise another $79,000 – that will allow us to become sustainable in perpetuity budget.
Help us spread the word!

In 2001, a group of local residents began an all-volunteer effort to tackle the garbage along these beaches. We’ve completed over 48 cleanups and collected nearly 500 tons! We call ourselves the GrassRoots Garbage Gang because that’s what we are, a very grassroots group of folks who are distressed by the trash on the beaches. Since that time, the effort has mushroomed, with volunteers coming from all over the state to help out at one or all three of the annual cleanups.
