Cayman Islands, April 28, 2025 — The Cayman Islands Chamber
of Commerce is celebrating a milestone year with the resounding
success of its annual Earth Day Cleanup, held on Saturday, April
26, 2025. This year’s event smashed previous records with 98
teams, more than 3,500 volunteers, and 38 sponsors joining
forces to keep the islands beautiful.

Marking more than 20 years of organising this signature
environmental event, coinciding with the Chamber’s 60th
anniversary, this year’s Cayman Clean campaign saw
unprecedented community support. Volunteers of all ages fanned
out across beaches, parks, and roadsides, gathering hundreds of
bags of litter and reinforcing the collective commitment to a
cleaner, greener Cayman.

“This year’s Earth Day Cleanup was nothing short of
extraordinary,” said Wil Pineau, CEO of the Cayman Islands
Chamber of Commerce. “As we celebrate 60 years of serving the
business and wider community, it’s inspiring to see record-
breaking numbers stepping up to protect what makes our islands
so special. This campaign is about more than cleaning up—
building a culture of responsibility and pride in our environment. I
couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve accomplished together. Special
thanks to Emily Sintorn, the Chamber’s Events and Training
Coordinator, and the volunteers for their hard work in organising
this year’s cleanup.”

The Earth Day Cleanup is the largest volunteer-driven
environmental initiative in the Cayman Islands, made possible by
the incredible support of individuals, businesses, and community
organisations. Thanks to the generous contributions of sponsors,
volunteers were provided with essential cleanup supplies,
including trash bags, gloves, and T-shirts. This year’s theme, “Our
Power, Our Planet,” underscored the importance of individual
action in shaping a sustainable future.

Bobeth O’Garro, Acting Chief Officer from the Ministry of Health,
emphasised the connection between the environment and public
health: “The Ministry of Health supported this event because we
believe environmental health is key to our overall well-being. We
are proud to contribute both financially and through the hands-on
efforts of our volunteers.”

Catherine Hicks, Business Support Manager at Pestkil, spoke
about the broader impact: “We’re committed to preserving our
environment—not only for ourselves but for the wildlife and future
generations. A clean environment strengthens our community,
supports tourism, and helps us face the challenges of climate
change together.
