More than 100 volunteers attended this year’s International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) and a little more than 2,000 pounds of trash was collected, of which 763.4 pounds were glass and plastic bottles (~40%) at Little Bay Beach & Pond hosted by EPIC and the St. Maarten Pride Foundation in collaboration with SMDF on Saturday September 16th.

Join Us for the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) on September 16th at Little Bay Beach and Pond near Belair! Prizes await the teams that collect the most trash! May the “trashiest” team win! For more details, visit the Volunteer.sx event page or contact projects@epicislands.org.

Over the next few weeks, anti-littering signage will be placed in ten neighborhoods on Sint Maarten by Environmental Protection in the Caribbean (EPIC), assisted by community partners, and funded by Resources for Community Resilience (R4CR).
