Keep Orlando Beautiful (Facebook | Website) is looking for volunteers and local environmental groups to get dirty at a multi-day lake cleanup series running from September 7-September 28.
“The Orlando Lakes Cleanup is not just a cleanup – it is an opportunity to raise awareness about microplastics in our waterways, the importance of reducing and re-using, and the connection between our streets, lakes, and oceans. Free reusables like metal straws, bags, and bottles are provided to all attendees so they can further their waste reduction actions after the cleanup.”
– KEEP ORLANDO BEAUTIFUL
Last year’s event resulted in the removal of over one thousand pounds of litter from local waterbodies and the non-profit is looking to beat that number this year with your help.
This year’s event will include the following lakes:
- Lake Fran
- Clear Lake
- Lake Dot
- Park Lake
- Lake Lorna Doone
- Loch Haven Chain of Lakes
