IRLA Bermuda - Keep Bermuda Beautiful
Fri 21 Mar 2025, 14:00 - 16:00
The IRLA Bermuda Chapter is excited to announce our partnership with Keep Bermuda Beautiful (KBB) for an upcoming clean-up event! We warmly invite you, your staff, families, and friends to join us in our efforts to create a cleaner, greener environment. Please find details below and forward this invite to anyone who may be interested in participating.
Location: East Broadway, Foot-of-the-Lane & the start of Trimmingham Hill. (East Broadway is the main road leading out of town, it goes down all the way to foot of the lane (past Flora Duffy Hill) and to the start of Trimminghill. This stretch is about 1km long.)
What to expect: KBB will meet us at the event site with their Education Coordinator, who will lead us in a “Litter Logistics” talk to help us understand what items can and cannot be recycled. They will provide:
• Roadside signs
• Reflective safety vests
• Clean Up Kits (including disposable gloves, trash/recycling bags, and litter grabbers)
After the talk, we’ll break into groups to clean the roads. KBB will call us back to the meeting point once we’re done, and all collected trash will be taken to the appropriate facilities by their team.
Recommendations For All Volunteers
• Plan to arrive at your location 10 – 15 minutes prior to the event start time
• Check the weather on the day as you may require sunscreen, a wide-brim hat and uv-protective clothing or appropriate waterproofs if rain is forecast.
• Where landscaping work may be involved, wear a long sleeve shirt, pants and appropriate closed-toe shoes
• Bring your own gardening gloves if you wish
• Carry hand sanitizer with you during the cleanup
• Stay hydrated! Bring your own water in a reusable bottle
• Take pictures of the group and individual volunteers throughout the cleanup:
