4000 pounds of trash removed during Coastal Clean-up


Franklin County’s coastline is a lot cleaner thanks to a few hundred volunteers and a lot of work.

The annual Coastal Cleanup was held Saturday, September 24th – removing about 4000 thousand pounds of trash and debris from the local waterfront.

The year before the event hauled out close to 10 thousand pounds of trash.

Over 2000 pounds of trash were picked up from Millender Park in Eastpoint – Nearly 500 pounds were picked up from St. George Island.

660 pounds of trash was removed from the shorelines around Apalachicola and 640 pounds were cleaned from Carrabelle.

In total 4060 pounds of trash was removed from local shoreline, that’s down from over 10 thousand pounds in 2010.
