Volunteers were able to retreat back to the community center to get refreshments.
Manning said several local businesses donated goods for the volunteers.
Roch's Market donated bananas, Brickley's donated coupons for free ice cream cones, Dunkin Donuts donated coffee and Tony's Pizza donated 60 pizzas for the volunteers to feast on after their cleanup efforts.
The cleanup was paired with a memorial walk for the three URI students who went missing last month.
"It [was] a good opportunity to pay our respects," said Manning.
Known for their community service, brothers of the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity also came out to help with the clean up.
"It made us all feel real good. We're going to be living here next year, and we liked to give back," said Max Holloway, a ZBT brother.
Students and residents picked up bottles, soda cans, plastic bags and other types of litter.
"One of our brothers found a teapot … it was messy," said ZBT president Nick Lurvey.
"I was climbing through the rocks … I picked up a lot of litter," Laurita said.
Students and residents commented on the politeness of both groups.
"People thanked us and asked if we needed more bags," Holloway said.
"The kids are great. I have never met a rude URI kid yet … they are all very polite," said Walter Manning, Margie's husband.
