9th Annual Cheers to Clean Water!
Each year, we bring hundreds of Marylanders together to clean up and collect data on litter for International Coastal Cleanup Day in September. Together, we have stopped thousands of pieces of plastic from polluting our oceans and the data has informed our education and advocacy across Maryland to prevent millions more.
Join us!

This is our 9th Annual Cheers to Clean Water Event! We clean up trash, collect data that helps us learn about and prevent the most common litter, and we are build community support for achieving our vision of a Trash Free Maryland! The event started in Baltimore and recently expanded to Maryland’s Eastern Shore. We have partnered with local breweries who have generously provided our volunteers with vouchers redeemable for free beverages so our volunteers can say Cheers to Clean Water!
