The Texas General Land Office will be taking utmost precautions due to COVID-19. For your safety, please bring your own gloves to the cleanup. Each volunteer will be given trash bags and other materials. All volunteers must register online to attend the cleanup at texasadoptabeach.org and are advised to wear closed-toe shoes and plenty of drinking water. Please download the Clean Swell app prior to attending the cleanup to track your trash. The app is a free download on both ios and Android platforms. The Texas General Land Office Adopt-A-Beach cleanups are held rain or shine! To learn more about the GLO’s COVID-19 safety recommendations, see the Cleanup at Home brochure.

The Texas General Land Office Adopt-A-Beach program began in the fall of 1986, when 2,800 volunteers picked up 124 tons of trash. Since then, more than 550,000 volunteers have removed 9,700 tons of trash from Texas beaches.

Texans who are not able to attend the cleanup can help keep our beaches clean by making a tax-deductible donation online at www.TexasAdoptABeach.org. There are several different Adopt-A-Beach sponsorship levels ranging from $25 to $25,000, allowing both individuals and corporations to contribute to this major cleanup effort.
