OCEAN CITY – The public is invited to participate in a first-time collaborative beach and street cleanup Tuesday, Aug. 1 at 4th Street and the Boardwalk, from 8 until 10 a.m.
Assateague Coastal Trust, Beach Heros-OC, Maryland Coastal Bays Program, Ocean City Surf Club, OC Go Green, Restore the Shore, Surfrider Foundation and the Town of Ocean City through the Ocean City Green Team are banding together on a united front for a community beach cleanup. All respective groups coordinate cleanups and other environmentally focused events throughout the year not only directly in Ocean City, but throughout the region.
All are welcome and encouraged to take part. Representatives from each group are setting up an area on the beach at 4th Street and the Boardwalk for volunteers to register, pick up supplies and provide an opportunity for people to learn a little more about the initiatives of the respective groups. A waiver will need to be signed upon arrival.
The Town of Ocean City is providing free parking for cleanup participants at the municipal parking lot on 4th Street from 7:30 a.m. until 10:30 a.m.
Volunteers are asked to bring their collection back to Fourth Street and the beach by 9:30 a.m. to celebrate all their hard work and weigh all the trash. The town will take care of disposing of the trash properly.
Here’s an idea to clean up the beach – get rid of the trashy tattoo shops and shady vape places along with no longer marketing to the ghettos of Philly, Jersey and Baltimore.
So you want your locals who generally take care of their surroundings to come clean up after the trash you cater to? Makes perfect sense and is a perfect comparison to how this country is run.
SMH….
How about taking some deadbeats off the welfare rolls and put them to work?
