Due to COVID-19 and important safety protocols that will likely be in effect in September, there will be significant changes to Coastal Cleanup Day to protect us while we protect the environment.
Dates: The event will be held every Saturday in September from 9 a.m. - Noon. September 5th | September 12th | September 19th | September 26th
Cleanup Locations: Volunteers will be encouraged to clean up their own neighborhood, or visit select litter "hot spots" outside of a volunteer's neighborhood identified by captains, and assigned to a limited number of households and/or families to prevent large gatherings. San Gregorio Environmental Resource Center (SGERC) will again be the local sponsor, and the captain will be Neil Panton.
Materials & Data:
- Bag and hardcopy paper supplies provided will be significantly reduced this year.
- Environmental Health Services is encouraging households to reuse reusable durable plastic bags provided by stores, and other bags provided by retailers to pick up litter.
- Gloves will still be provided and are encouraged now more than ever to protect volunteers that participate this year.
- Data will be reported electronically through the Clean Swell mobile application.
- Waivers will either be electronic or eliminated.
- Stay tuned for more information in August when additional details are finalized.
