Delaware State Parks on X:

The 2024 Coastal Cleanup

Trash on our beaches and in our waterways isn’t just unsightly – it’s also potentially dangerous to marine life and in some cases harmful to water quality. The annual Delaware Coastal Cleanup offers volunteers an opportunity to help make a difference for Delaware’s shoreline and waterways while joining an international effort to clean up the world’s waters.

Volunteers for the 37th Annual Delaware Coastal Cleanup will be able to join the cleanup on Saturday, Sept. 14 (or the rain date on Sept. 21).

Volunteers will report the results of their efforts and add to a growing database of information about trash cleaned from our beaches, communities, natural areas, parks, and other public spaces.

The coordinated event and month-long campaign support Governor John Carney’s Keep DE Litter Free initiative.

Help Keep Our Beaches Clean and Litter Free

The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control is hosting a one-day cleanup event more than 45 sites statewide from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Sept. 14. In case the weather doesn’t cooperate, there’s a rain date set for Sept. 21.

Volunteers looking can register for cleanup sites shown on a statewide map of cleanup locations in State Wildlife Areas (blue dots) and State Parks (red dots) statewide, and on beaches in Kent County (green dots) and Sussex County (purple dots).
