Every year, the days after July 4th leave our beaches scattered with litter and firework debris, threatening marine life and the beauty of the coastline. But it’s not just the shore—parks, neighborhoods, and riverbanks across the region are impacted too. This year, let’s come together to clean up after the celebrations and restore the places we all care about—from Brookings to Astoria and beyond.

July 5, 2026

Cleanups will take place on Sunday, July 5.

As volunteer projects are created, they will be listed on our registration site. 

Get Involved

Join fellow community members in a collective effort to clear away the remnants of July 4th celebrations—fireworks debris, plastic waste, and more. Let’s turn the days after the holiday into a time of restoration and community pride. Whether you're on the coast, at a local park, or a neighborhood street, your efforts will make a tangible difference in protecting the natural spaces we all cherish.
