By the Inside Outreach team · October 18, 2025Mahalo to everyone who came out for the beach cleanup in Kailua. We made a huge dent.
Kailua Beach is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Everybody knows it. That’s exactly why it gets so much trash. More people, more wrappers, more bottle caps buried in the sand.
Keiki in charge
Our favorite part of these mornings is the keiki. Give a kid a bag and a mission and watch them go. They find stuff adults walk right past. Bottle caps. Cigarette butts. Tiny pieces of plastic that the waves keep grinding smaller.
And they’re learning something we can’t teach in a classroom. This place is ours to take care of. Not somebody else’s job.
Bring a friend next time
Cleanups cost almost nothing but time. If you missed this one, don’t worry. There’s always another. And every Tuesday is Trash Tuesday, so you can do your own wherever you live.
Mahalo, Kailua. See you on the sand.
