Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful presents the Hillsborough River & Coastal Cleanup as part of the International Coastal Cleanup. Unlike a typical litter removal event, this event offers the opportunity for volunteers to engage in vital international research activities by taking on the role of "Scientist for a Day." With a specific focus on water-based natural resource protection, volunteers collect items and record the data. This information is used to determine future requirements for cleanup initiatives, assess projects that are needed in the area, and develop awareness of these needs within the local communities who share these waterways.
Thank you to all our volunteers, sponsors, and partners for helping to make this event a huge success! In 2017, 3000 volunteers removed 55,412 lbs. of litter and debris from our waterways. Join the movement to protect our waterways.

Mission Statement
Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful mission is to provide environmental education and volunteer opportunities that develop individual responsibility and environmental stewardship.
Description
Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful is a not-for-profit organization that engages citizens and communities through environmental service and education. An affiliate of Keep America Beautiful, we began as a group of concerned residents who saw that litter was becoming a problem in their community through lack of community pride, limited knowledge of disposal options and urban growth. To combat these problems, we coordinate the Great American Cleanup in April, the Hillsborough River & Coastal Cleanup in the fall, the Adopt-A-Road and Adopt-A-Shore programs, community cleanups and an annual litter index survey.
