Palm Coast’s annual Keep Palm Coast Clean event collected over 450 pounds of waste and debris. 

The April 11 event saw dozens of volunteers collecting trash across Palm Coast, focusing on areas of concern noted by the Palm Coast Public Works Department. While the city has staff that maintain and upkeep roads and medians across the city, the uptick in littering in recent years has created a need for the Keep PC Clean to aid in removing waste, debris and other items detrimental to the environment, a city press release said.

“Our goal with our Keep PC Clean initiative is to spread awareness and encourage efforts to prevent littering across the city,” said Alyssa Roscoe, residential solid waste collections supervisor. “We are so fortunate to have such a beautiful city, and the efforts by both our staff and the volunteers that take part in this initiative are essential to assuring that it stays beautiful.”

Palm Coast’s annual Intracoastal Waterway Cleanup will take place on Saturday Sept. 19 at 8am. All supplies for cleanup efforts are provided and all participants for this event receive a free t-shirt and luncheon at the Palm Coast Community Center after the event.
