Keep Winter Haven Clean & Beautiful, Inc.

Save the date for our annual Winter Haven Shoreline Clean up day, 3rd Saturday of September. Join us Sept. 19th! Sites will be at Heritage Park at Lake Howard, and Lake Hartridge Nature Park, 8am-10am. Supplies available while they last! Of course, we are not coastal, but we have plenty of Shoreline! Let's work together to Keep Winter Haven Clean & Beautiful,!

Did you know that in our current cycle, that our affiliates with their dedicated volunteers across the State collected 551,201 pounds of litter and cleaned over 449 miles of shoreline?

From Pensacola to Key West, every piece of plastic picked up, every fishing line removed, and every cigarette butt collected helps preserve Florida’s natural beauty and fragile ecosystems.

Why Beach Cleanups Matter in Florida:
🐢 Protect Wildlife: Marine animals like sea turtles, manatees, and seabirds mistake plastic for food or become entangled in debris.
🏖️ Preserve Tourism & Economy: Clean beaches support local businesses, tourism, and fishing industries.
🌿 Prevent Microplastics: Trash breaks down into tiny particles that enter our water and food chain.
🤝 Build Community: Cleanups bring like-minded people together and inspire others to leave a positive impact.

You Can Help!
Join a local Keep Florida Beautiful affiliate cleanup event or organize your own.
