Fort Lauderdale Beach Cleanup

Fort Lauderdale Beach Cleanup 

SEFAA's Community Service Committee is teaming up with the City of Fort Lauderdale to clean up our local beaches.

The City of Fort Lauderdale Parks and Recreation department is doing an awesome job at keeping our beaches in pristine condition. Volunteers typically collect 100 pounds of trash, 25 pounds of recyclables and 10,000 cigarette butts.  You can help protect our jewel of Fort Lauderdale Beach and local wildlife by removing these serious threats to seagulls, turtles, and many more.

By registering for this FREE event, you will be provided with all of the necessary equipment, including a trash bucket, trash picker, and gloves. We will also have snacks and refreshments for all attendees to enjoy.
