Come and volunteer for the 36th Annual Beach/River Sweep Family Event and help keep our beautiful Daniel Island looking great and healthy. Students earn Service Hours! We’ll sweep at low tide: 12:00 pm to 2:00 PM (PLEASE NOTE NEW TIME TO REFLECT TIDES), Rain or Shine, Saturday, October 4, 2025. Look for the small registration table set up on the stage in DI Waterfront Park to register. You will receive an S.C. Sea Grant Tally sheet to keep track of the litter you pick up and a recyclable garbage bag. Team up with a buddy so one can pick up the litter and the other can keep score of the litter found. It’s pure fun (like a scavenger hunt) to clean up the island with your friends and family. Or, just come out for a walk and enjoy the outdoors! Bring your buddies!
- All are welcome. No advance registration required; just show up.
- Children must be accompanied by an adult.
- Teens will be paired with others unless they come with a buddy of their own. Participation counts for SERVICE HOURS (bring your volunteer forms or use ours)
- Bring water to keep hydrated.
- Wear closed-toe shoes, long sleeves, sunscreen, and bug spray.
- Bring a grabber to reach for litter from a safe place. We will supply grabbers if you don’t have any.
- The marshes contain a lot of litter, which the high tide brings in and the low tide reveals. Only adults can reach in there, provided they wear rubber boots or marsh boots and have a buddy.
This event is sponsored by the S.C. Sea Grant Consortium and the DI Community Fund. Prepare to have fun!
