ON A MISSION TO KEEP PARADISE CLEAN
Bubbies is known for serving up new ways to take you to ice cream paradise - but behind the scenes, we’re taking steps to keep our planet, oceans, and paradise clean.
We understand our responsibility to share our ice cream creations in an ethical and environmentally conscious way. With the help of partners like CleanHub and the Beach Bucket Foundation, we’re able to do just that.
Cleanhub: Ocean plastic recovery
Since 2023, Bubbies has partnered with Cleanhub to fund the cleanup of trash from coastal communities worldwide. In 2023, we reached our year-long goal of funding the cleanup of 10,000 lbs of trash from coastal areas across the globe. In 2024, we increased our goal, and are now funding the cleanup of 12,500 lbs of trash this year.
Through CleanHub’s model of waste interception, these 22,500 lbs of trash will never reach the ocean and will be disposed of or recycled. Our partnership with CleanHub helps keep paradise clean and provides stable jobs at collection hubs in India, Indonesia, and Cambodia.
HEAL THE BAY: beach clean ups
At Bubbies, we believe in taking care of the places we call paradise. Since 2023, we’ve proudly partnered with Heal the Bay, a non-profit organization devoted to keeping Los Angeles beaches clean and educating the public on protecting our coastal ecosystems.
On August 17, 2024, we teamed up once again at Torrance Beach, where 308 dedicated volunteers worked together to remove 45 pounds of trash in just over two hours! We’re thrilled to support Heal the Bay’s incredible mission and deeply grateful to everyone who pitched in to help keep our beaches pristine.

BEACH BUCKET FOUNDATION: Beach Clean Up
Bubbies’ commitment to cleaner coastlines extends across the country. Since 2022, we've partnered with the Beach Bucket Foundation for annual volunteer-led cleanups along Florida’s beautiful shores.
Most recently, on August 24, 2024, our third annual cleanup gathered a small but mighty group of 22 volunteers. Together, they collected an impressive 78 pounds of trash, including more than 1,200 cigarette butts. We’re incredibly proud to work with the Beach Bucket Foundation to preserve Florida’s beaches and make a positive impact.
In 2023, we sponsored a beach cleanup in Miami Beach, where volunteers collected over 330 lbs of trash that would have otherwise polluted waterways and marine habitats.
In 2022, we sponsored Beach Bucket’s beach cleanup in Ocean Kay, Florida. Over 120 volunteers attended and made a significant impact by removing 140 lbs of trash from the beach.
