This is the first year that participants will be asked to submit electronically how many bags of trash and recyclables they collected from the clean up.  More than 1,000 residents registered in the county to participate in either the Lido Beach or Siesta Key Beach cleanups. For Siesta Beach approximately 150 volunteers registered to help.
