Foreshore Clean-up Days around Plymouth

Foreshore clean-up days are open to anyone aged 14 and up, but under 18s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

You should be in reasonably good health as we will be cleaning up on the foreshore, moving heavy rubbish across the beach. You will also get very muddy, so please wear suitable clothing and a hat.

For more information about what you need to bring with you on the day please see our Get Involved page.

For information about previous events please see the Clean-up Operations page and the Photo Gallery.
