Oct 8, 2025

The City Of Hollywood Is Inviting Volunteers To Roll Up Their Sleeves And Take Part In The Monthly Hollywood Beach Sweep Clean-Up, Held On The Second Saturday Of Each Month From 7:00 a.m. To 11:00 a.m. Participants Meet At Charnow Park, Located At Garfield Street And A1A, Before Heading Out To Collect Litter Along The Shoreline. The Event Aims To Keep The City’s Coastline Clean While Fostering Community Pride And Environmental Stewardship.

Volunteers of all ages are welcome, though participants must be at least eight years old, and minors must be accompanied by an adult. Proper attire is required, including closed-toe shoes, and volunteers are encouraged to wear hats, apply sunscreen, and bring water and snacks. City staff will provide cleanup and safety instructions, as well as trash bags and gloves.

Parking for participants is available at the Garfield Parking Garage, located at 300 Connecticut Street, Hollywood, Florida 33019 but space is limited. Carpooling is encouraged. Free parking is provided through a virtual parking pass system, which is issued electronically based on the information submitted on the registration form. Each vehicle is eligible for one temporary pass valid during event hours. Passes will not be issued on the day of the event, and free parking is not guaranteed for all volunteers.

Registration forms must be submitted by the Wednesday before each cleanup to qualify for waived parking fees. Because City of Hollywood offices are closed on Fridays, forms submitted that day will not be processed.

Hollywood Beach Sweep offers residents and visitors a chance to give back to the community while helping protect the natural beauty of Hollywood Beach. Those interested in participating can access the registration form online and bring it with them on cleanup day. For more information, visit: www.hollywoodfl.org and search for “Beach Sweep.”
