The Norwegian Dawn began the 2012 season with its first trip to Bermuda and 40 crew members came ashore to participate in a KBB Cleanup of the Dockyard area. We welcome visiting groups who want to give back to the community! It's also wonderful to know that so many businesses are developing very active environmental policies.

Annual “Happy Holidays – Healthy Beaches” Clean Up
Clean Up Date: December 26, 2012
In the event of rain, and if it has been raining up until 8:00 am on the morning of a KBB cleanup, the bushes and terrain will be too wet and muddy for a successful cleanup. In this case, the cleanup will be postponed to the scheduled “rain date” which is usually the following Saturday.
The Bermuda Roadside Litter Survey taken in 2009 revealed that cigarette butts are the biggest form of litter. If you include lighters, matches and cigarette packaging along with cigarette butts this accounts for 25% of Bermuda’s litter.
