Coastal Cleanup Day

About

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 over 40 inland and coastal cleanups every year.

Across inland and coastal Orange County, 5,375 volunteers participated in 35 different cleanup events for OC Coastal Cleanup Day 2023! In just a few hours, these volunteers removed over 21,350 pounds of trash from our parks, beaches, and waterways.

As the regional coordinator, our team helped distribute supplies, register volunteers, and provide promotional support. In addition to assisting cleanup sites, we hosted our own cleanup event at Huntington State Beach. In just three hours, 306 volunteers removed 283 pounds of trash from the Huntington Beach coastline. Our cleanup also featured a live DJ and sustainability fair where volunteers could learn more about how they can make eco-positive changes in their lives.
