Soundkeeper Cleanups
Puget Soundkeeper hosts various beach cleanups throughout the year to pick up marine debris from our waterways. Unfortunately, 90% of the marine debris we find is plastic. To learn more about our beach cleanup opportunities check out our marine debris cleanup page.

PSK staff puts together cleanup kits with all the supplies you need for a cleanup, including trash grabbers, garbage bags, disinfectant, sharps containers, and more.

Weekly Kayak Patrols on Lake Union
Every Wednesday from 11 am to 1 pm, Puget Soundkeeper leads a small group of volunteers to pick up trash around Lake Union in tandem kayaks. No kayaking experience is necessary! Soundkeeper provides training and brings all the cleanup equipment. A BIG thank you to Northwest Outdoor Center for donating their kayaks. Check our events calendar for availability.
Community-Science Opportunities
Community science is a great way to get our volunteers involved in some of our scientific research. Puget Soundkeeper hosts a variety of events during different times of the year.
Play Trash Bingo
We created a special Trash Bingo card you can use to identify and track the trash collected during your personal cleanup activities. Mark what you find and see if you can get five in a row for Bingo!
