Beach Cleanup Volunteer Opportunities in Folly Beach

The Folly Beach Association of Business (FAB) Litter Committee’s mission is to create a litter-free future for Folly Beach and its inhabitants by conducting thorough litter sweeps, recording valuable data, and presenting data to officials to enforce and create legislation to improve litter issues.

Interested in organizing a beach sweep? Please contact Vanessa Oltman at jvolt243@gmail.com. She will be able to assist and answer all your questions.

Toby’s Litter Sweeps

Toby Turtle and the South Carolina Aquarium partner together for an island-wide sweep of Folly’s streets and beach for a spring clean-up before the busy tourist season begins. All supplies will be provided. Come learn how to be a citizen scientist and record your findings in a data recording system with The Litter Journal.

We’re Looking for Volunteers to Help Us #KeepFollyClean
Kick off Earth Month with Toby by volunteering to help us sweep litter and debris from our beautiful island. Litter sweep stations will be set up throughout the island from the Lighthouse Reserve to W 9th St. Ext. Each station will be manned by station leaders who will provide supplies and data sheets to volunteers. #KeepFollyClean

Volunteers will be rewarded with freebies and discounts throughout the island after the sweep!
Join us at The Bounty Bar from 3 to 7 pm for the volunteer-exclusive afterparty, featuring drink specials and 50% off select appetizers. Plus, scan below for a full list of additional Folly Beach businesses that will be providing discounts on food, drinks, and merchandise for volunteers. Must have a sweep-issued wristband to take advantage of these discounts.
