In 2009, more than 10,000 volunteers removed over 174,000 pounds of debris in one morning at various beaches, bays, canyons, and open space areas.

Well, Coastal Clean Up Day is BACK! September 25th, 2010 9am-12pm

Trash travels. But you can help stop the flow of debris from human hands to the sea by helping at Coastal Cleanup Day. This event is the largest volunteer event in the county and spans over 80+ sites across San Diego County.

Locally organized by San Diego Coastkeeper and I Love A Clean San Diego, this event is sponsored by the CA Coastal Commission, Think Blue -- City of San Diego Stormwater Department, and the San Diego County Board of Supervisors through the support of Greg Cox and Pam Slater-Price. Other major sponsors for 2010 include Ralph's, Bank of America, Allied Waste, and the Sempra Energy Foundation; please visit our Sponsors Page for more info about our excellent supporters of the event!

For the second year in a row, all volunteers will receive a free ticket to ride the roller coaster at Belmont Park, and more sustainable giveaways and prizes! Scout troops will receive a free scout patch for their service to their community. We are also continuing our annual coloring contest for elementary school students for a chance to win a free art kit. Remember to download scout patch order forms and coloring contest entry forms to submit to your site captain the day of the event. We are so grateful to volunteers of all ages for helping keep San Diego's coast a beautiful place to live and play and for helping prevent marine debris.
