Each year volunteers are needed to remove trash from several beach and riverbank locations throughout southern New Jersey. The events are usually held in the fall.
“Unfortunately, many people who visit our region’s beaches and rivers over the summer leave behind a lot of trash,” said Atlantic City Electric’s Ronnie Town, a longtime coordinator of the Beach Sweeps event. “Add to that the debris that washes ashore and you have the potential for serious pollution. Atlantic City Electric is proud to sponsor Beach Sweeps because it reflects the kind of environmental stewardship that is central to our business.”
Atlantic City Electric has sponsored the regional Coastal Cleanup, which is part of International Coastal Cleanup, for nearly 20 years.
