The July 5 Liberty Litter Cleanup event, which saw more than 80 volunteers pick up litter on a combined 10 beaches and parks in Sarasota County, resulted in the collection of nearly 1,000 pounds of trash and 550 pounds of recyclables.
Siesta Beach was among the locations that benefited from the efforts.
The next cleanup event co-sponsored by Keep Sarasota County Beautiful that involves Siesta Key comes in the form of the International Coastal Cleanup, set for Sept. 17.
