The KDH Community Appearance Commission
Held a Beach Clean-up Event

Members of the town’s Community Appearance Commission (CAC) held a beach clean-up at their adopted beach access, Eden Street, on November 20, 2021. With their trash-grabbers and buckets in hand, members walked from the Avalon Pier to the Eden Street access collecting debris along the way.

During their clean-up, the group collected the following:
Cigarette butts  - 47
Fishing gear – 2
Plastic bags – 4
Food wrappers – 5
Plastic containers – 7
Beverage cans – 5
Bottle caps -1
Cups/plates -3
Plastic/foam pieces – 6
Other trash – 20
Gloves/masks – 2
Strapping bands – 5
Construction materials – 6
Lighter – 1

In addition, the CAC donated a cigarette butt container to the Avalon Fishing Pier in the hopes of reducing cigarette butt litter on the beach and in our waterways.
 
The CAC also has personal portable ashtrays available to assist smokers with another tool to help eliminate cigarette butt litter. If you’re interested in receiving a portable ashtray, email CAC Chairperson Sue Kelly at sdkelly927@aol.com.
 
Please do your part to keep our community clean by properly disposing of all smoking materials.
