Join the Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber of Commerce and the Delaware Center for the Inland Bays in celebrating Earth Day at the Coastal Community Clean-up! In partnership with Keep Delaware Beautiful, Waste Management, and Surfrider Foundation DE, groups and individuals alike are invited to celebrate Earth Day by adopting and cleaning a section of roadway throughout coastal Sussex County. 

Volunteer:
If you would like to volunteer for the cleanup, please select the register here button at the top of this event page, enter your information, and select a cleaning area. If you are flexible to volunteer wherever needed, you can select that as an option! 

All registered volunteers will receive check-in details and location information the week of the event. Each cleaning area will be assigned a designated hub location that will be where volunteers will check-in, receive clean-up supplies, and discard collected trash.
*More volunteer opportunities may be posted as needed*
