SANDY HOOK, NJ – The Berkeley Heights Rotary Club and friends showed up on Saturday morning, April 21, 2018, and served vittles for the more than 850 volunteers who came out to clean the beaches there of litter of all sorts.
The Rotary Club has been doing this for over 15 consecutive years, in cooperation with Clean Ocean Action, the semi-annual cleanup of New Jersey beaches known as “Beach Sweep.” In the course of the morning, cleanup volunteers plowed through one thousand hot dogs, gallons and gallons of iced tea and water, and ten 50-pack boxes of chips and nachos—all food and drinks are provided free to these sandy stalwarts by the Berkeley Heights Rotary Club.
This year’s Beach Sweep was a huge success. The “sweepers” at Sandy Hook removed vast amounts of litter. The “top 5” were: over 9,400 discarded pieces of plastic, including a major number of plastic water bottles; 6,580 candy and food wrappers; 5,989 bottle caps and coffee cup lids; and over 7,442 straws, stirrers, and Styrofoam cups; plus one Styrofoam chunk of dock material measuring 5’x3’x2’! All this and much more in less than three hours’ time!
On Saturday, April 21 the Rotary Club of Berkeley Heights again participated in the annual Beach Sweep at Sandy Hook State Park. The Rotary Club prepared and served one-thousand hot dogs with chips and drinks to the masses of high school students who took part in this annual service project. Thanks to all that helped out. It was a beautiful day!
The New Jersey Sharing Network is a not-for-profit organization created over 30 years ago to recover and place donated organs and tissue for those in need of a life-saving transplant.
