Plogging the Keys: White Street & Higgs Beach Cleanup

Are you ready to plog?! Welcome to Plogging the Keys, a weekly community cleanup!

Join the “Litterati” this week for an early-bird cleanup near Higgs Beach hosted by the Green Ops of the Conch Republic.

Come for one hour picking up litter at White Street & Higgs Beach. Please BYO refillable water bottle. Look for the group’s neon green trailer. Meet 15 minutes early to register. Pick up supplies: a vest, gloves, bucket, and picker. All volunteers are also provided with hand sanitizer, access to water, and a parking pass for the event. A mere one hour makes a huge difference.

Plogging the Keys cleanups happen every Friday, 8-9am at various locations across the Florida Keys. “Plogging” is a portmanteau of the Swedish words “plocka upp” (meaning “pick up”) and “jogging,” referring to the activity of picking up litter while jogging or walking.
