The Great Port Clean Up
Great Port Clean Up: April 17, 2026
You are invited to our annual Great Port Clean Up at Port Tampa Bay.
Port Tampa Bay, the Propeller Club of Tampa, and Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful are excited to announce the 4th Annual Great Port Clean Up. This event is a call to action for the port community to support the ongoing efforts to keep Tampa Bay a beautiful place to live, work, and play.
During this event, port partners and other dedicated community volunteers will safely remove trash and marine debris from several sites in and around our port. While the majoirty of this debris originates from outside of the port, we recognize our daily connication with our local waters and are dedicated to do our part to eliminate marine debris and support “Trash Free Waters” in Tampa Bay.
Thanks to many of you, last year’s event was a great success! More than 800 volunteers removed over 90,000 pounds of litter and debris from our local waters. Our signature environmental event was recognized for “environmental Excellence” by the American Association of Port Authorities and as an “Outstanding Partnership” by Keep Florida Beautiful.
Let’s keep up this great work! Please join us for another exciting year.
Please contact Chris Cooley at [email protected] if you are interested in organizing a clean-up crew.
Registration coming soon.
