Coastal Cleanup Day 2013

BE A CHANGING FORCE FOR THE FUTURE AND DEFEND CLEAN WATER

Join the biggest volunteer day on the planet on Saturday, September 21, 2013 from 9 a.m. to noon, as thousands of southern Californians remove pollution and unnatural debris from over 50 beach and inland locations. 

Last year in California alone, 62,668 volunteers participated in Coastal Cleanup Day. Together, we removed over 728,289 pounds of trash and 143,291 pounds of recyclable waste from over 1,500 miles. Los Angeles County boasted over 50 cleanup sites located at various beaches and inland waterways.

We've made it easier than ever to personally fundraise for Coastal Cleanup Day. Once you sign up, you can create a fundraising page and share with friends and family. Volunteers who raise $100 or more get a Heal the Bay t-shirt!

Why is Coastal Cleanup Day important?

• Trash in the ocean compromises human and wildlife health, which affects the livelihoods of millions all over the planet. We all need clean water. 
• Every little piece of paper, cigarette butt or bottle cap that makes its way to street sewers ends up in streams or rivers and eventually down to the ocean. 
• Oceans are the largest part of our water cycle, generating oxygen and rain necessary to sustain life on Earth.
