KMBB Collects 170 Pounds of Trash in Two Cleanups

Volunteers with Keep Myrtle Beach Beautiful collected about 170 pounds of trash over two days last week.

The first cleanup was conducted in the area around Pepper Geddings Recreation Center and was combined with a school supply drive on Aug. 18. Our volunteers collected 61 pounds of trash in two hours. We extend our sincere gratitude to the businesses and individuals that generously contributed supplies in support of the students at Myrtle Beach Primary School including Bay Pawn & Jewelry, South Carolina Federal Credit Union and Grand Palms Resort.

Kasey Harkins, who works at the chamber’s airport visitors center, had the heaviest bag of the day with 14 pounds of trash.

The following morning, the Keep Myrtle Beach Beautiful teamed up with the Myrtle Beach Pelicans and CPI Security for a beach sweep starting around 24^th Avenue North in Myrtle Beach where 110 pounds of trash was removed from the shoreline.

A beach cleanup to celebrate World Habitat Day is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 2 from 9-11 a.m. at Hurl Rocks Park in Myrtle Beach. Join in to help keep Myrtle Beach beautiful. Register
