Everyone has a role to play in protecting North Myrtle Beach. Explore volunteer opportunities, educational programs, and community initiatives that help preserve our beaches, waterways, wildlife, and natural spaces for generations to come.
Keep North Myrtle Beach Beautiful
Keep North Myrtle Beach Beautiful (KNMBB) is a community-based program dedicated to educating and empowering residents to improve the environment while enhancing community pride and quality of life. As an affiliate of Keep America Beautiful, the program focuses on:
Beautification projects
Litter prevention
Recycling education
Community volunteer opportunities
The KNMBB Committee meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 4:00 p.m. at the J. Bryan Floyd Community Center, and community members are always welcome to get involved.
Join A Community Cleanup
Each September, Keep North Myrtle Beach Beautiful hosts the Annual Beach Sweep / Creek Sweep, joining volunteers across South Carolina for the state's largest one-day volunteer cleanup. As part of the South Carolina Sea Grant Consortium's Beach Sweep/River Sweep and International Coastal Cleanup Day, volunteers remove litter from North Myrtle Beach's beaches and the Cherry Grove marsh while collecting debris data that helps identify pollution sources.

Adopt a Beach Access or NMB Park
Make a lasting impact by adopting a public beach access or city park. Individuals, families, businesses, civic organizations, and church groups are encouraged to participate by committing to regular cleanups throughout the year.
Volunteer Commitments
May–September: Two cleanups per month
October–April: One cleanup per month
Beach Access volunteers clean their adopted access and surrounding dunes while logging their efforts through the MyCoast app. Park volunteers submit a cleanup report after each cleanup to help track community volunteer efforts.
