DEQ sets Makaka Beach cleanup

Posted on Feb 18 2009

The Division of Environmental Quality’s cleanup brigade will be at it again, picking up trash at Makaka Beach in Garapan.

If you would like to volunteer your time to clean and beautify the island, meet with the volunteers on Saturday, March 7, 2009, at 8am behind the ABC store.

Volunteers will split into groups, cleaning north and south of Makaka Beach until 10am, break for drinks, and then continue, 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, 60 volunteers removed 1,180 lbs of debris from Coral Ocean Point. The DEQ cleanup brigade began in 1996 and continues to maintain clean, healthy beaches.

For more information about volunteering, contact the DEQ office at 664-8500. [B][I](DEQ)[/I][/B]
