Beach Cleanup Round-up

For whatever reason, today appears to be the day that everyone is officially done with winter. Since we have received so many complaints today about the weather, we thought it would be fun to remember the final beach cleanup at Euclid Beach. Don't you remember that cool breeze off the Lake as your feed slide into the warm sand?

If you don't, here are some words from our volunteer coordinator, Stephen Love, that may remind you.

On Saturday November 13th 2010, volunteers from The Brush High School Key Club, Case Western Reserve University, Baldwin-Wallace College, Cleveland State University, Drink Local, Drink Tap and community members came together to clean Euclid Beach!

This beach cleanup was our last of the year before winter but thanks to some unseasonably warm weather, it was our largest beach cleanup to date with close to 50 volunteers! When all was said and done, we managed to collect over 70 pounds of trash and 35 pounds of recyclables! Among our most collected items, we found close to 800 cigar tips, 450 pieces of plastic and 250 caps and lids to name only a few!

We hope you join the Euclid Beach Adopt-a-Beach Team when we resume our regularly scheduled beach cleanups in March 2011! Be sure to read about any updates on our facebook page and to see our spring/summer 2011 beach cleanup dates!
