The event attracts volunteers with a passion for protecting and enjoying nature by removing the trash within their developments or along city paths, walkways, and waterways. 

Participation in the event is not restricted to those on foot. Boaters are encouraged to volunteer to work in saltwater canals and intracoastal waterways while walkers can clear the paths and trails alongside the waterway.

On the day of the event, Sept. 9, volunteers will meet at the Palm Coast Community Center and will receive a t-shirt, trash bags, gloves, and a safety sheet. Trash can be placed in dumpsters at select city parks and under the toll bridge. 

Following the completion of the trash clean-up, volunteers will gather back at the Palm Coast Community Center for a reception where prizes will be given to volunteers for pounds of trash collected and the most unique find.

Students and youth organizations such as boy/girl scouts can get community service hours for volunteering. Forms must be signed by an event organizer. The troop leader or supervisor can reach out to event staff member Jordan Myers.
