A group of community volunteers from the local Adopt‑A‑Highway program finished a litter‑cleaning effort on the Bermuda Bluff promenade on Thursday, removing an estimated 45 kg of waste from the popular walking trail. The cleanup, which ran from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., saw 28 volunteers, including students from the Bermuda College and members of the Hamilton Rotary Club, working in teams to gather plastic bottles, food wrappers and other debris.

The Bermuda Bluff area, known for its sweeping ocean views and historic lighthouse, has long been a favourite for both residents and tourists. Mayor Michael Hall praised the volunteers’ effort, noting that the work helps protect the local marine environment and maintains the attractiveness of the island’s public spaces.

"Keeping Bermuda Bluff clean is essential for our community’s health and our tourism sector," Hall said at the event. He added that the municipal government will continue to support similar projects, encouraging residents to report litter and participate in future clean‑up days.

The Adopt‑A‑Highway program, which has partnered with local organisations since 2024, aims to promote responsible stewardship of Bermuda’s natural and built environments. The most recent cleanup will be followed by a brief educational session on waste reduction techniques, scheduled for next Saturday at the Hamilton Community Centre.
