Coastal Cleanup Day

California’s largest annual volunteer event, California Coastal Cleanup, takes place on the third Saturday of each September, along more than 2,000 miles of coastal and inland waterfront. This year’s Cleanup Day will be tomorrow, Saturday the 16th, from 9 a.m. until noon. Check the map to find a cleanup location near you, along with all the information you’ll need to volunteer.

This event isn’t limited to the Pacific coastline. Cleanups take place all over California – from coastal areas to Lake Tahoe and from San Diego up to Del Norte County. For information on Delta Water Cleanup, click here.

Last year, more than 53,000 volunteers removed nearly 640,000 pounds of trash and recyclables from California’s shores. Our state’s event is part of the International Coastal Cleanup, organized by the Ocean Conservancy.
