Palm Coast Prepares for 9th Annual Intracoastal Waterway Cleanup

August 29, 2016 | FlaglerLive | Leave a Comment

Community volunteers will remove trash in and along the Intracoastal Waterway, its walkways and canals starting at 8 a.m. Sept. 10 at the Palm Coast Community Center, 305 Palm Coast Parkway NE, where supplies will be distributed to commence the morning activities. Walkers can clean Palm Coast’s paths and trails, and boaters can work in saltwater canals and Intracoastal waters.


Following the cleanup and trash drop-off, volunteers are invited back to the Community Center for refreshments and a special awards ceremony to recognize those who found the most unique “trash.” There will be lots of prizes this year, including gift certificates from sponsors.

Online registration will remain open until Sept. 8, www.palmcoastgov.com/icwc, and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays at the Community Center. Registration is also welcome on event day, but supplies will be limited; volunteer packages are guaranteed only for those who would have pre-registered by Aug. 20.

Pre-registered volunteers may pick up their packages early at the Palm Coast City Hall Community Wing, 160 Lake Ave., on Saturday, Sept. 3, 9 to 11 a.m., as part of orientation beginning at 9 a.m. Pre-registered participants will receive supplies needed to tackle trash; T-shirts are no longer available. Large volunteer groups are encouraged to participate in event orientation at the City Hall Community Wing on Sept. 3 at 9 a.m. Groups may also learn more about the Waterway Cleanup on the event website shown above.

The cleanup is helped by 12 sponsors this year. They include:

Florida Inland Navigation District (F.I.N.D.), which awarded the City a $5,000 grant to purchase cleaning supplies for volunteers. This is the seventh year F.I.N.D. has provided a grant, with the district’s contribution totaling $45,000 over the years.

· Marineland Dolphin Adventure, which has donated $200 in gift certificates for volunteer prizes.

· Tropical Kayaks, which is providing free tandem kayaks by reservation to assist volunteers with the cleanup.

· Ripple Effect, which donated a $210 kayaking eco-tour(s) as 2 volunteer prizes.

· Waste Pro, which has supported the Cleanup every year since it started in 2008, provides the temporary dumpsters for event-day collection.

· Stone Engineering Group Inc., McKim & Creed, C.T. Hsu + Associates, P.A., Environmental Land Services, CPH Engineers, Inc. each making a $100 donation.

· Publix, which provided direct event support and a $100 gift card.

· High Tides at Snack Jack restaurant, $50 donation and two $25 gift cards.

“The City of Palm Coast truly appreciates our sponsors for supporting the annual Intracoastal Waterway Cleanup, which is so important for keeping our trails and waterways clean and open for everyone including our wildlife to enjoy,” said City Administration Coordinator Denise Bevan, Coordinator of the Intracoastal Waterway Cleanup. “We could not be successful with this event without our dedicated community partners and faithful volunteers.”

For more information, please call the Intracoastal Waterway Cleanup Coordinator Denise Bevan at 386-986-2458.
