October 2024 Young Friends Beach Cleanup

October 20 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm

We invite you to be part of our next Young Friends Beach Cleanup with Friends of Jupiter Beach! This is a fantastic opportunity to make a positive impact on our beautiful coastline, meet new friends, and enjoy a fun and fulfilling afternoon.

When: Sunday, October 20th from 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Where: Ocean Cay Park, southeast corner of US Hwy. 1 at 2188 Marcinski Road (north of Donald Ross Rd., south of Indiantown Rd.) Anita Lankler Pavilion, which faces the beach road.

What Happens: Students will clean a 2 ½ mile stretch from the Juno Beach Pier to the southern edge of Carlin Park (crossovers 22-59). Beach cleanups are canceled in rain or dangerous weather. If canceled, no rescheduling—see you next month!

What to Do When You Arrive: Grab your gloves, grabbers, and small bags, which are provided by us. Join a team and follow the instructions of Team Captains (in orange shirts) for cleanup areas. Some sections require driving, while others require walking. Clean on the beach, along walkways, under crossovers, in parking areas, and in the park. Recyclables are separated, so please follow the Friends of Jupiter Beach Volunteer Code of Safety. Organized groups must contact us at hello@friendsofjupiterbeach.org.

Additional Information: Arrive wearing closed-toe shoes, hats, sunscreen, and bug spray. No flip-flops allowed. Protect your arms and legs. Leave bags by the trashcans on the sidewalk, not on the beach or the road. Help Team Captains dump trash into large black bags or blue recyclable bags.

Registration: Students desiring school community service credit must check in by 4:00 pm sharp to receive credit. Organized groups should call at least two weeks ahead of time, and we will return the call to confirm the cleanup date.
