Hornsea Beach Clean

Become a citizen scientist for the day and join our Crew on Saturday 16th August 2025 between 2pm-4pm, to take part in a FREE beach clean at Hornsea Beach!

Beach cleans are a fantastic way to get involved in keeping your local coastline free of litter to protect the environment and our native marine species. Each piece of litter collected on our beach cleans is identified, weighed and recorded before being responsibly disposed of. The data collected goes towards the Marine Conservation Society’s national survey as part of the Beachwatch National Beach Cleaning programme, which is used to help raise public awareness of the impact of litter on the environment. 

Since carrying out these events, we have managed to collect over 1 ton of rubbish – that’s the equivalent of a car!

• Please meet The Deep's Crew at Hornsea Hub, Broadway, Hornsea HU18 1PZ, before walking down to the beach.

What to bring: We’d recommend you pack a rucksack with a few essentials like sunscreen, waterproofs, hand sanitiser, and perhaps some snacks and a drink (in a reusable bottle, of course).

What to wear: If you're picking up litter with your hands it's worth wearing a strong pair of gloves - like gardening gloves - just to make sure you're protected. Sturdy shoes are a must for protection too.
