Come together: Volunteers spend day cleaning up Delaware coast
Some of us may be spending our day watching college football or running errands, others are spending the start of the weekend along the Delaware coast, taking part in today’s 26th annual Delaware Coastal Cleanup.
WPVI-TV reports volunteers are spending the day at more than 40 sites along the state’s 97-mile coastline. The effort also includes rivers and wetlands.
According to WPVI-TV, nearly 2,500 volunteers collected about 9.5 tons of trash from sites along the state’s coast last year.
Volunteers found everything from an old bridesmaid dress to a whale bone.
