Join the annual Delaware Coastal Cleanup and help preserve our coasts. This event has been canceled due to concerns about the spread of the Coronavirus.

The 33rd annual Delaware Coastal Cleanup is set for Saturday, Sept. 12, 2020. The cleanup will be from 9 a.m. to noon. In case of severe weather, the rain date will be Saturday, Sept. 19.

Registration for individuals and small groups will open on August 1. Groups of 10 or more should pre-register by emailing DNREC_Coastal_Cleanup@delaware.gov.

For the 2020 event, precautions will be taken to ensure the health and safety of cleanup participants, who will spread out across 40 to 50 locations throughout the state, working outside and generally in groups no bigger than 10 to 15. Planning for this year’s event covers a wide range of contingencies, including possible cancellation, with decisions to be based on the most current coronavirus conditions.
