Keep Brevard Beautiful’s 6th Annual Summer Series, like most events taking place in 2020, will be a little different this year due to safety concerns surrounding COVID-19. In partnership with Florida Today, Fall Series will take place for the whole month of November. Volunteers will host individual, family, or small group (less than 10 people) cleanups. Volunteers who register, conduct at least two cleanup events during the authorized time, and submit their data along with a photo will be in entered into the drawing for a FREE kayak!
What is a virtual cleanup?
Virtual cleanups allow our volunteers to register, check-in, and submit data through our KBB app and website.
KBB will provide volunteers with gloves and bags, as well as pickers and buckets if available, to help facilitate a productive cleanup event.
Due to the severity of our global pandemic, supply pickup will only be available by appointment. Our office is located at 1620 Adamson Rd, Cocoa, FL 32926.
