Volusia County Plans Winter Beach Cleanup to Reduce Litter Ahead of the Holidays

Posted On: December 2, 2025

Volusia County is gearing up for a Winter Beach Cleanup from 8 to 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 6, at Winterhaven Park in Ponce Inlet, and residents, visitors, and community groups are encouraged to join the effort to keep the coastline clean heading into the holiday season.

The event is part of the county’s Keep Volusia Beautiful initiative, which brings people together at multiple events throughout the year to care for local shorelines. Hosted by Volusia County’s Solid Waste Division, the final cleanup of 2025 will bring volunteers together to remove litter and protect the beauty of Volusia County’s beaches before the holidays.

Winterhaven Park is located at 4589 S. Atlantic Ave. in Ponce Inlet, approximately 3.5 miles south of Dunlawton Boulevard. Trash bags and gloves will be provided on-site. Volunteers are encouraged to dress appropriately for outdoor work and bring their own water and sunscreen.

RSVPs are not required, but are encouraged to help organizers ensure enough supplies are available for everyone. To RSVP or learn more about the Winter Beach Cleanup, email lwalter@volusia.org.
