The American Littoral Society is hosting its 24th annual statewide waterfront cleanup day open to anyone willing to pick up trash. Happening simultaneously at dozens of locations across the state, the cleanup has a solid record, netting nearly 200,000 pounds of collected and debris from beaches and other waterfront regions during the single-day 2008 cleanup.

Over 50 locations have been announced for New York City alone, though the project reaches all the way to the Great Lakes, and every major body of water in between.
