Alliance for the Great Lakes – Beach Clean Up!

Alliance for the Great Lakes – Beach Cleanup

When: Saturday, October 19th, 2024

Time: 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

Location: Kathy Osterman (Hollywood) Beach 5800 N DuSable Lake Shore Dr, Chicago, IL 60660

Total Spots Available: 25

Description: Volunteers will work together to pick up and document litter on the beach. After the beach is cleaned up, all the items will be added up and weighed. Trash will then be thrown away while recyclable items will be recycled. Along with data from beaches from all the different coasts of the Great Lakes, the site’s documented beach clean up data is tallied and sent to Alliance for the Great Lakes. The data is collected and used in research on the pollution around the Great Lakes.

Volunteers should wear weather appropriate attire suitable for walking on the beach and in the surrounding park. We suggest these additional items:

• Sunscreen
• Hat and/or sunglasses
• Refillable water bottle

Alliance for the Great Lakes will provide disposable gloves and trashbags.

Alliance for the Great Lakes Mission: To protect, conserve, and restore the Great Lakes, ensuring healthy water in the lakes and in our communities for all generations of people and wildlife. We advance our mission as advocates for policies that support the lakes and communities, by building the research, analysis, and partnerships that motivate action, and by educating and uniting people as a voice for the Great Lakes.
