Littering beaches still happening days after reopening, volunteer groups can’t do much to help

  • ST. PETE BEACH, Fla. — Pinellas County beaches have only been open four days and they’re already getting trashed by beach goers.  Littering has always been a problem for our Tampa Bay area beaches. But normally, we have volunteer groups that help keep trash levels in check. However, quarantine and safety rules are preventing them from helping in full force. LINK

With volunteers limited by quarantine, trashed beaches may become bigger problem

  • “Oh, it’s the same thing over and over, if you bring it in take it out,” John Helms executive director of the Salty Soul Foundation said. He’s talking about trash. Photos on social media show the newest surge of trash littering the paradise we call home with used face masks and rubber gloves scattered on the ground. LINK

Salty Soul Foundation making a difference on our beaches

  • The Salty Soul foundation spends its time cleaning the Dunedin Causeway. They sell amazing clothing to help fund the cleanup process. The team has collected over 6,000 pounds of trash from the two mile stretch of beach at Dunedin Causeway just this year. Once a month, with the help of hundreds of volunteers, they hit the causeway on Saturday’s for three hours. LINK
