Join California’s largest annual volunteer event and help remove trash from beaches and inland waterways across the state.
Head out to a local cleanup site from 9am to noon to collect plastic pollution and other debris before it causes more harm to people and wildlife. This is the 42nd year of the event, with sites available at beaches and inland waterways statewide.
Use the interactive cleanup map on the California Coastal Commission’s website to find a site near you.
