Coastal Cleanups
presented by Cingari Family ShopRites
and funded in part by Stamford Parks Community Partnership
Our coastline is one of our most precious resources, and we must chip in to keep it pristine. SoundWaters is leading the charge but needs everyone’s help. We host seasonal clean-up days when we will provide you with gloves and bags to walk the public shoreline and pick up human debris. We weigh and catalog everything collected before disposing of it in the appropriate manner. Coastal clean-ups are ideal for friends, families, and teams. Thank you to Cingari Family ShopRites for supporting our clean-up efforts.
All ages are welcome and please wear sturdy shoes and clothing you don’t mind getting dirty and/or wet. We will provide gloves, but feel free to bring garden or work gloves.
2026-2027 Dates: TBA
***Please note: Cleanups will resume in September 2026***

What They’re Saying
“When I first walked over to the table to check in, I was kindly greeted by the SoundWaters team, and for every trip back to dump out the trash, I was enthusiastically greeted again and again which made me feel like I was already part of something bigger than me. This also inspired me to keep going and fetch more. I felt the impact I was making through the amount of trash I had picked up. I filled up my first bucket in just a couple of minutes which was fulfilling, but also highlighted how big of an issue trash pollution is. Thank you for organizing such an impactful event that is toward a significant cause.”
