UNITED BY BLUE’S SCHUYLKILL RIVER CLEANUP AT BARTRAM’S GARDEN
9/4/12, 5-7PM
Spend your first Tuesday of the Month enjoying a free cookout and helping to make our waterways a little cleaner. Help UBB rid Bartram’s Garden’s beautiful property of trash, which was carried down from the Schuylkill River.
United By Blue and Trail Creek Outfitters Removed 562 Pounds of Trash from The Brandywine Creek
Location: Smith Bridge Wilmington DE
Date: August 18, 2012
During busy summer weekends, the Brandywine Creek is packed with sunbathers, swimmers, hikers, bikers, and people floating down the creek in canoes, tubes, or kayaks.
United By Blue, Trail Creek Outfitters, and 32 volunteers picked up nearly 600 pounds of trash left along the Brandywine Creek by summertime visitors. Our weird trash haul included lots and lots of beer bottles and cans, a lot for sale sign, a pool float, shoes, bathing suits, a kitchen knife, and a mystery pump (we think it came from a paintball gun).
UBB would like to thank: Trail Creek Outfitters, Glen Mills Whole Foods, Wilderness Canoes, Woodlyn Trustees, Delaware Greenways, Wilmington Trail Club, and Opdenaker Trash Removal.

United By Blue and Farias Surf & Sport’s 5th Street Beach Cleanup
For more information visit www.unitedbyblue.com
A gentle breeze off the ocean makes for a pleasant beach cleanup, whereas, heavy winds makes for an interesting beach cleanup with Farias Surf and Sport. Despite sand being flung at volunteers, over 35 LBI residents and visitors came together to collect 48.5 pounds of trash from Surf City’s beaches.
Nearly 50 pounds is quite a lot of trash for a beach that gets cleaned daily. Volunteers turned in the usual beach trash like plastic bottles, cans, newspapers, clothing and food containers and not-so-usual items including a pop-up toy, a bottle of Balmex, a glowlight for fishing tackle, a metal fork, $40, a sock and a baby blowfish (this won cool points but not weird trash).
Farias Surf and Sport has three LBI locations: on 28th Street and Long Beach Blvd in Ship Bottom, at Taylor and Bay Avenue in Beach Haven, and 5th Street and Long Beach Blvd in Surf City. For the past 35 years, Farias’ family-owned and operated store has been supplying beach goers and surfers with the latest fashions and equipment for the best prices.

When we first arrived at Truxtun Park in Annapolis, everyone noticed the same thing-this beautiful park was pretty darn clean. During our Sperry Top-Sider World Oceans Day cleanup, 25 volunteers worked their ways throughout the trails leading up to Spa Creek and pulled out 261 pounds of trash.
