We Need Your Help on California Coastal Cleanup Day - Call for Volunteers
Date: Wednesday, July 31, 2024
This September 21, 2024 will be our 40th anniversary and we need your help on California Coastal Cleanup Day. We hope to have 54 sites in Marin and need volunteers this year. Timing is 9:00am - Noon.
Last year in Marin alone 73 miles were cleaned and 4829 lbs of trash collected with an additional 556 lbs of recyclable collected.
Participating in California Coastal Cleanup Day is easy! Follow these steps:
- 1. On the map website link above, click on the cleanup you want to attend and read the instructions. Some sites require pre-registration, others allow you to simply drop in on the morning of the cleanup. Please check the date carefully as not all cleanups will take place on September 23rd.
- 2. Sign the online waiver of liability (ENGLISH or SPANISH). Show the confirmation email to cleanup staff on the day of your cleanup. If you'd prefer to sign a paper waiver, download the ENGLISH or SPANISH version and bring your signed waiver to the cleanup.
- 3. Gather reusable cleanup supplies from home, like a bucket and gardening gloves. Cleanup supplies, as well as liability waivers, will be available at each cleanup site if needed.
- 4. Show up at your cleanup site at the designated time and day. Check in with on-site cleanup staff and start cleaning!
- 5. Continue your efforts after Coastal Cleanup Day by participating in the Adopt-A-Beach Program, by conducting a Neighborhood Cleanup, or a Schoolyard Cleanup, any time during the year!
