We’re protecting marine wildlife and keeping the bay bead-free, one strand at a time!📿 Approximately 20,000 pounds of beads have been collected since the launch of our Bead Reuse Program in 2018, and between 2024-2025 over 4,000lbs were processed at the macdonaldtrainingcenter. Last year, our Solid Waste team had a blast prepping some of those beads for their next adventure. Help keep our #BeadFreeBay by dropping off your beads at one of our collection sites now through May. 👏 📍Copeland Park Community Center 📍Kate Jackson Community Center 📍Loretta Ingraham Rec Complex 📍Macdonald Training Center 📍floridaaquarium until *February 22* (save 50% on up to 4 general admission tickets with your donation) Learn more at tampa.gov/BeadFreeBay.
