| JUL-SEP | Seabin Waste CharacterizationMultiple Dates and Times Harbour West Marina (1 Guise St W, Hamilton, ON L8L 8B4) |
| Join BARC staff and a small team of volunteers to sort and count the waste captured in Pollution Probe and Harbour West Marina's Seabins. Seabins are floating trash cans that capture litter in the water. We'll be collecting and sorting the collected waste to find out what type of trash is making its way into Hamilton Harbour. From coffee cups to cigarette butts, to shoes and scrunchies, every item collected by a Seabin is one less piece of trash in the Harbour! Registration is required.
