Join Keep Pinellas Beautiful at Gandy Beach Every Third Saturday!
It’s that exciting time of year again! Keep Pinellas Beautiful is teaming up with the Ocean Conservancy to host the 2024 International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) in Pinellas County. From September 1st to October 31st, volunteers around the world will come together to clean up our coasts, collecting, counting, and documenting trash in their communities.
Battle For The Bay – September 21st
On Saturday, September 21st, join Keep Pinellas Beautiful and Phade for a special Battle For The Bay event against Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful.
