Friends of the Bay and the Town of Oyster Bay install a Cleanup Station at Centre Island Beach
Friends of the Bay and the Town of Oyster Bay Parks Department installed a self-service cleanup station at Centre Island Beach in Bayville, the first of its kind in the town.
The installation coincided with International Coastal Cleanup Day on September 21 where it was used for the first time during a beach cleanup we co-hosted with The Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary and Audubon Center.
This cleanup station will remain year-round on the Long Island Sound side of Centre Island Beach.
Keeping our beaches clean is an ongoing job. Our hope is that the cleanup station will inspire people to pick up litter every time they visit the beach. It can be a surprisingly gratifying activity for people of all ages and thankfully there are a growing number of people who want to do it.
