Coastal Cleanup Day is the world’s largest trash pick up! In California alone, 66,000 volunteers come together to remove trash and beautify our coastline.

Protecting the ocean from trash begins in our neighborhoods! Email us if you need cleanup supplies to use on your block. You can even contribute trash data by downloading the free CleanSwell app & naming your group ‘Coastkeeper Clean’. This is helpful for us, as well as policymakers regarding debris prevention and management.

As waste continually pollutes our streets, waterways, and beaches, Cleanup OC provides the opportunity for you to help protect and restore the environments we all call home.

Through Cleanup OC, Coastkeeper holds monthly beach cleanups and coordinates the annual OC Coastal Cleanup Day. Cleanup OC’s ultimate goal is to unite Orange County communities through service, responsibility, and sharing of the natural environment. Check out all Coastkeeper’s cleanup opportunities to get involved.

Please sign up for a volunteer sign by going through their website Coastal Cleanup Day | Orange County Coastkeeper
