Fourth annual beach cleanup set for Memorial Day weekend

On May 26, community members seeking to give back to the environment are invited to participate Alanna Lipsky’s fourth annual beach cleanup from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.

Lipsky started the cleanup as part of her bat mitzvah project, but has since continued the effort due to consistent turnout from volunteers hoping to give back to Hull beaches.

Participants should meet on the beach at A Street, where Lipsky will provide a tent with trash bags and gloves for the cleanup. Full trash bags can be left on the soft sand at the top of the beach. Rubin Fitz-Marquez at Emerald Earth Works and Star Waste Systems will be donating their time and services to pick up and dispose of the trash, and the South Shore Taco Guy will be donating free tacos to all participants. The rain date for the cleanup is May 27, the Memorial Day holiday.

“I love doing this project, and I hope people come and support it,” said Lipsky.
