DEQ cleanup brigade targets Wing Beach

The Division of Environmental Quality cleanup brigade will be picking up trash at Wing Beach on Saturday, Sept. 6.

If you would like to volunteer your time to clean and beautify our island, meet the team members at Wing Beach at 8am.

Volunteers will clean until 10am, break for drinks, and then continues if needed.

This month, outstanding brigade volunteers who participated in at least 10 monthly cleanups will receive a brigade cap and those who participated in at least three cleanups will receive a green brigade t-shirt.

Last month, volunteers removed debris from Makaka Beach. The last time Wing Beach was selected as a brigade location was September 2007.

The DEQ cleanup brigade began in 1996 and continues to maintain clean, healthy beaches.
