June 3rd to June 11th
Volunteer for a Blitz Cleanup
Litter – it’s everywhere! You see it on our streets, in our parks, on our shorelines, and in the water. Blown by the wind on trash day, tossed out car windows, intentionally dumped — however it gets there, it’s an eyesore and bad for the environment.
The Blitz is a week-long outdoor cleanup event that brings together hundreds of volunteers with one goal in mind – keeping our land and water clean by removing litter from our neighborhoods. From bags, bottles, and butts to tires and larger items, Blitz volunteers make a big difference for cleaner communities.
Join us at a Blitz cleanup! We need volunteers for cleanups happening June 3rd to June 11th at various locations throughout Ocean County and parts of southern Monmouth County. Here’s how you can help.
Report a Trashy Site
You are our eyes on the watershed. Do you know a location that needs a clean-up? Tell us about it.
Register Your Clean-Up
Does your organization or group already have a site in mind to tackle together? Register your group clean-up with us.
