Firework debris left on the beach after Fourth of July

Annual July 5 Beach Cleanup

Join us for the morning after the Fourth of July for a beach cleanup on Saturday, July 5, 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. Washington State Parks, GrassRoots Garbage Gang and Washington Surfrider Olympia and Grays Harbor chapters will be out hosting cleanups along the Central and South Pacific Coast.

In partnership with Washington CoastSavers, Parks puts on three beach cleanup volunteer events a year, including a cleanup on July 5. Visit CoastSavers.org to view a list of participating beaches and where to check in on the day of the event. Pre-registration is not necessary – just show up and help.    

Volunteers should dress for variable weather conditions, wear sturdy footwear and pack a lunch with plenty of water. Upon check-in, participants will receive supplies to help them pick up debris; however, volunteers are encouraged to bring reusable gloves. The check-in station also serves as the dumpster location for marine debris after collection.   

Check for park closures, alerts and burn bans before heading out. For those visiting a state park, a Discover Pass is required for vehicle access.
