Coastal Cleanup Day

September 19, 2026

California Coastal Cleanup Day brings awareness to the state’s marine debris problem and provides a community event for direct involvement. Join the movement for an environment where people and ecosystems can survive and thrive!

This statewide event is organized every September by the California Coastal Commission. We are proud to be the regional coordinator for Orange County! We help manage and assist with over 30 inland and coastal cleanups every year. Detailed information on cleanup sites is coming soon.

If you or your organization is interested in funding this impactful program, please contact us at beachcleanups@coastkeeper.org.

Become a Site Captain!
