Saturday, September 16, marks the 36th annual Alabama Coastal Cleanup, and for Fairhope residents, it is a good opportunity to not only clean up along the coast but to clean up city wide. Again, this year the City of Fairhope is encouraging neighborhood groups and others to join together to pick up trash and help make a difference.
Volunteers who sign up early will receive a free t-shirt.
The packets of supplies will be available for pickup at the James P. Nix Senior Center (1 Bayou Drive) on Friday September 15 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. All other volunteers can sign-in at the Fairhope Pier on Saturday, September 16 beginning at 8 a.m. The cleanup takes place from 8 a.m. to noon. The Alabama Coastal Clean-Up is part of an international effort to remove debris from coastal waters.
Also, this year as part of the day’s activities, the City of Fairhope will cook hotdogs between 10 a.m. and noon at the south end of the Fairhope beach front park for all volunteers. Be a part of this effort this year to help keep Alabama and Fairhope beautiful!
