Toby’s Litter Sweeps

Toby’s 3rd Annual Spring Litter Sweep on Sunday, 4/7

Join Toby the Turtle for his 3rd annual Earth Month litter sweep! Help #KeepFollyClean by picking up and documenting litter island-wide. 

Join Toby, the FAB Litter Committee, and the South Carolina Aquarium Conservation Team on April 7, 2024, for our 3rd Annual Earth Month Litter Sweep! There will be 9 stations throughout the island where volunteers will collect and document litter both on the beach and in other areas of the island. ALL supplies will be furnished at each station! Park Folly will provide free parking in certain areas for this event.

Join us afterward for a party at Lowlife Bar from 3-7pm, where there will be a special menu of drink specials and snacks. Volunteers can also enjoy discounts from participating businesses (you must show your sweep wristband to receive the discounts).
