About The Event
Our Leave it Better program has gained momentum in recent years, earning us the Alaskans for Litter Prevention and Recycling (ALPAR) Award for Volunteerism or Service in 2021.
Participate in the Leave it Better program by bringing our ALPAR trash bags into PWS. You can pick up trash bags from one of our distributors on your way to the Sound. Our distributors include:
- Glacier Ranger District office in Girdwood
- Harbormaster's Office in Whittier
- Lazy Otter Charters in Whittier
- Alaska Sea Kayakers in Whittier
These bags are intended for removal of marine debris and camp garbage left along PWS shorelines.
Once you've filled your bag(s) of garbage, carry them out and dispose of the bags on the mainland, if possible.
Traveling light and can't take the bags with you? No problem!
1. Leave the bags above the high tide line
2. Take a photo and GPS of the coordinates
3. Notify Glacier Ranger District of their location or use the Prince William Sound Facebook forum, which consists of a community eager to help steward our public lands. By posting coordinates and a description of where bags are left, a generous boater is likely to assist with a pickup.
Thank you for participating. Please don't hesitate to reach out to info@princewilliamsound.org with any questions.
