A microplastic particle removal tool is provided that comprises an elongated mesh screen supported by a pair of opposing pole members. The mesh screen comprises a polymer coated, fine mesh that is adapted to sift microplastic affected sand and remove the microplastic particles therefrom during cleanup activities. The pole members are elongated members wrapped in a layer of padding material and fastened to the ends of the mesh screen. The poles support the mesh screen while sifting and are utilized to condense the mesh screen therearound when the device is not in use. During use, the mesh screen is placed in a horizontal condition while microplastic affected sand is deposited thereonto. A pair of users supports the handle ends of the pole members to sift the affected sand and thereby remove the microplastic particles therefrom via electrostatic attraction. The collected particles are removed from the screen thereafter and discarded.
