Volunteers Invited to Join Post-Independence Day Cleanup

Posted On: June 26, 2025

Volusia County is organizing a community effort to help collect and remove litter left behind on the beach after the July 4 holiday during the Keep Volusia Beautiful Post-Independence Day Cleanup, scheduled for 8 to 10 a.m. Saturday, July 5, at Winterhaven Park, 4589 S. Atlantic Ave., Ponce Inlet.

Held after major holidays, the cleanup focuses on removing waste left on the beach following heavy visitor activity. The event is part of the County’s ongoing Keep Volusia Beautiful initiative, which brings people together at multiple events throughout the year to care for local shorelines.

Buckets, grabbers, gloves, and other cleanup supplies will be provided at the site. Volunteers are encouraged to dress appropriately for outdoor work and bring hats, sunscreen, insect repellent, and plenty of water to stay cool and comfortable during cleanup activities.

Although RSVPs are not required, they are strongly encouraged to help organizers ensure enough supplies are available for everyone. To RSVP or learn more about the cleanup, email lwalter@volusia.org.

Residents wishing to participate can receive complimentary off-beach parking at the park by registering their vehicle at www.parkvolusia.org.
