Coastal Cleanup Month 2020

Date: 2020-09-05
Location: Your neighborhood

September marks the 36th annual California Coastal Cleanup. This year, let’s help clean the beach by cleaning up in our neighborhoods each Saturday in September.

The Alameda County Resource Conservation District is hosting the clean up effort throughout the county by supporting you, the volunteers! As you know, the pandemic has made gathering in groups unsafe. This year, let’s help clean the beach by cleaning up in our  neighborhoods and local natural areas.  Beach cleanups start at our doors! Trash travels through storm drains, creeks, and rivers to become beach pollution.
Please visit https://alamedacoastalcleanup.eventbrite.com for more information and register to volunteer for this important annual event.
