INTERNATIONAL COASTAL CLEANUP, an annual event, is on Saturday, September 19 from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM, with multiple locations along Brevard County beaches and other waterways.

KBB and Playalinda Brewing Company partnered up to do a cleanup at Playalinda Beach on Wednesday November 7th. We collected 5 bags of trash, mostly micro-plastics, with the 50 volunteers that came out! Afterwards, everyone enjoyed a complimentary nacho bar at the Playalinda Brewing Company Hardware Store.

The International Coastal Cleanup event was founded by the Ocean Conservancy, with local efforts over the years being spearheaded by Keep Brevard Beautiful with help from our sponsors, community partners, municipalities and volunteers. This unique community-wide opportunity brings us all to key locations where we can make a difference supporting litter prevention and community cleanup programs.
