Coastal cleanup is Saturday

The 2016 Annual Coastal Cleanup program will be held in Franklin County on Saturday, September 17th, so if you are free between 8:30 and 11:30 in the morning please come out and help.

The worldwide cleanup campaign helps remove thousands of pounds of trash from Franklin County beaches and millions of pounds from beaches world-wide.

Last year over 430 volunteers took part in the event and removed over 8 and a half tons of debris from local shorelines.

This year there could be more thanks to Hurricane Hermine.

Volunteers will help clean up the shorelines from Bald Point to Apalachicola including locations in Lanark Village, Carrabelle, Eastpoint, and St. George Island.

We’ve posted a full list of clean-up sites at oysterradio.com and on our facebook page.

Volunteers should bring their own bug spray, sunscreen and protective clothing – they will be provided with trash bags, T-shirts, gloves.

There will also be snacks and water and all volunteers get a T-shirt.

For information call Ada Long at 927-3776.
