8AM on July 5th - South Walton Community Council Independence Day Beach Cleanup
Miramar
Seagrove
Ed Walline Park
Blue Mountain Beach
Grayton Beach
Inlet Beach
Butler (Between Seaside & Watercolor)
Dune Allen
More than 100 people show up each year at eight locations to pick up fireworks trash on the beaches of South Walton on July 5th, in South Walton Community Council?s annual beach cleanup. In all, they have picked up approximately 100 to 130 bags of trash each year.
The turnout ranges from three to 35 at the various locations. They are residents and visitors of all ages. One church group sent several adult members and their children. Last year a church group from Birmingham had young people earning community service credit from their clean up efforts. This year local Cub Scouts are participating.
The bags are hauled away by the regular Tourist Development Council trash pickup crew. The TDC also furnish the trash bags, gloves, and bottled water for the cleanup.
A spokesman from SWCC said ?we?re really grateful for the people who show up. With this kind of turnout each year we can make a positive impact on the wonderful Beaches of South Walton?.
It is good clean fun!
Water, gloves and bags provided by the
South Walton Tourist Development Council.

TooFarTampaSoWal InsiderNative of Tampa now in Boston 'burbs. Left my hear5,422 postsJoined View profileMessageSoWal InsiderKudos to all those out there this morning cleaning up the mess! We were at our friends' house last night, where our friends and their neighbors were both shooting off fireworks (quite a show :blink:) and I felt bad about leaving them with a mess. I can't imagine what the beaches look like this morning. Hope everyone had a safe and happy Fourth!

sunspotbabySoWal InsiderSanta Rosa Beach5,000 postsJoined View profileMessageSoWal InsiderWe went to Whale's Tail last night and saw some awesome fireworks! Got home and discovered Jayden only had one shoe. :roll:
So we went back this morning with a trash bag and picked up trash on the NORTH side of the road. Wow, unbelievable! We had a trash bag full before we ever crossed the street! The beach was actually pretty clean by the time we got there at 8:30.
Never found the missing crock. :bang:

ASHBeach FanaticRoosevelt, MN2,153 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach FanaticI sat East of Ed Walline last night and watched for an hour.
Beaches weren't too bad this morning. It was less to pick up than last year that I remember.
I did see a TDC truck coming back to Ed Walline from the East that was loaded down above the height of the cab with spent fireworks tubes. Think about how much money was spent to do that. :blink:
