It's been about three months since Hurricane Matthew battered Florida's east coast, and volunteers are still working to get Beverly Beach back in shape.

"You'd be surprised of what you pick up," said Lou Rodriguez, a volunteer.

Rodriguez picked up the debris that Hurricane Matthew left behind on the beach during a cleanup event Wednesday. He has participated in several cleanup events since the storm passed north along the coast.

"It's getting cleaner and cleaner by the day," Rodriguez said.

Volunteers worked to fill bags with debris and trash, but the area still needs work. Crews continue to repair severely damaged homes, beach walkovers and businesses.

Sid Patel's Beverly Beach RV Park and Resort is still in recovery mode, but it is doing better than in October when the storm hit.

"What I saw the very first time, I was scared," Patel said. "Customers are coming back and they are seeing everything done right. They're so happy and we are in business."

Patel credits his business bouncing back to people in the community who have helped collect garbage and other storm debris.

"There are so many volunteers, you don't need to ask," Patel said. "They get together (and) clean up."

Added Rodriguez: "We're about eight to nine. That's how high improvement in the area has gone."

He said he hopes that people don't even know a storm hit the area by the time spring rolls around.

"We'll keep going until there's less and less debris around," he said.

Anyone interested in helping clean up the beaches and surrounding areas is asked to bring a garbage bag and line it up against the dunes so that land management officials can pick it up. The last date crews plan to pick up trash/debris is Jan. 13.
