Instructions for Group and Corporate Registration
The International Coastal Cleanup Miami-Dade is a free county-wide community event. We aim to create opportunities for any community members to join in, including school groups, service groups, activity groups and corporate groups alike. Here are some guidelines for groups, and if you have additional questions, contact us.
For Groups of less than 10
Most organizers allow up to 10 tickets per order to facilitate families, a few friends or handful of colleagues volunteering together. The system will ask you to provide a name, email and phone for each of your attendees. If members of your group are not 100% committed, send them the link and have them register on their own. Please do not order a ‘placeholder’ ticket, as we allocate specific number of spaces and supplies, and accurate headcounts is really critical to maximizing impact of the ICC.
Corporate Groups (larger than 10)
The public ICC cleanup may not be ideal for large corporate groups due to challenges like finding adequate space. Many participating non-profits, including us, offer private corporate cleanup days throughout the year to provide a personalized experience at your preferred location and date. Check out our Corporate Day of Service Program here, or Sponsor ICC for reserved spots at various locations. If you choose to join a public event, please contact the individual site captain through the ‘Contact Organizer‘ button on their event page to discuss accommodations. Consider splitting into smaller groups for different cleanups. We encourage your support through donations, supplies, or in-kind help.
Service/School Groups
If the “Site Captain” has capacity to accommodate your group, they are able to “RESERVE” a special block of tickets for your folks. By creating a dedicated ticket type for your group, you will have plenty of time to organize and confirm attendance. You can either have everyone register individually (usually recommended so they receive any updates themselves) or you can register for everyone (great if you are all coming together by bus). When you register, the system will ask for a name, email and phone for each of your attendees. After September 14th, any unregistered tickets for your ticket block will be released back into the public pool to make space for other volunteers.

ICC2025 Event Recap
When your morning starts off with rainbows, you know it is going to be a good day!
#MiamiCleanup2025 was a Massive Success!
While this cleanup marks our 11th year of organizing Miami-Dade’s involvement in this annual global event, it is the network of organizations who lead the individual cleanups in the program that make this event an incredible success. We are sending a huge shoutout to all the amazing Site Captains who led their teams with dedication, and all the Volunteers who participated.
These organizations are leading cleanups throughout the year, because EVERY DAY IS CLEANUP DAY in Miami.
ICC 2025 Sponsors
We’d like to thank our funding partners and this year’s inaugural Trashathon sponsors who are making a per-pound pledge to support this high-impact annual event. We are grateful for their commitment to our community and clean water.
Our local eco-reporter hero – Louis Aguirre – did a great recap segment on ICC with footage and interviews collected from many of the 68 cleanup locations. Did your site captain get you in the video? Watch and share the recap, and set your alarm to watch the Emmy Award Winning “Don’t Trash Our Treasure” segment every Wednesday at 10pm on Local 10 News.
