Spring Beach Cleanup a success
In spite of cold, rainy and
windy weather on the coast,
4,000 hardy volunteers turned
out to participate in the 18th an
nual Great Oregon Spring
Beach Cleanup. The entire
Oregon coast, over 362 miles,
was cleaned of debris accumu
lated during the stormy winter
months. Volunteers removed
an estimated 30 tons of trash
from Oregon’s coastline, eight
tons more than was collected in
the 2002 Spring Beach Cleanup.
Major sponsorswere Henry
W einhard’s, Jantzen, a sub-
sidiary of Perry Ellis Interna-
tional, Inc., LP, Made in Ore-
gon, Tektronix and Wells Fargo,
The Zone Sponsor was Boyd
Coffee, the Media Sponsor was
KGW Northwest NewsChannel
8, the Truck sponsor was
Chevrolet and the Communica
tions Sponsor was AT&T Wire
less. Along with SOLV, the
event was coordinated by the
Oregon Parks and Recreation
Department and the Oregon
Refuse and Recycling Associa-
tion. Funds came from the sale
of Oregon personalized plates.
Among the items found on
the beaches were four refriger
ators, a Korean shampoo bot
tle, a dinghy, a wheelbarrow, a
diver’s tank, a computer moni
tor and keyboard, six tooth
brushes, wooden pallets, tires
and thousands of plastic and
glass bottles, pieces of styro
foam and pieces of plastic.
Jack McGowan, SOLV’s Ex
ecutive Director, commented,
“Once again, our citizens have
demonstrated their pride in this
great state by turning out to
preserved and enhance Ore-
gon’s beaches. We extend our
special thanks to our partners,
Oregon Department of Parks
and
Recreation
and
the
garbage haulers all along the
coast who help make this event
possible."
SOLV is a statewide organi
zation founded in 1969 by Gov
ernor Tom McCall and other
community leaders to act as a
catalyst in linking business,
government and citizens in pre-
serving the livability of Oregon.
