Annual Coastal Clean Up Day

Name: Annual Coastal Clean Up Day

Date: September 17, 2022

Time: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM PDT

Event Description:

Join thousands of volunteers around California and hundreds in San Rafael to help keep our waterways clean! The annual Coastal Cleanup Day will begin at 9am at most locations end around noon. This is a great way to volunteer outdoors with friends and family while being part of the solution to local trash and waterway pollution. This is the one day each year that volunteers are asked to track the trash they pick up which helps the State develop long-term solutions to litter. Choose the location that works for you and be sure to dress for the weather as well as your comfort and safety.
